Difference in installation between brew and conda

Open dalessioluca opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

brew install broadinstitute/dsp/cromshell --> does not install womtool conda install cromshell -c bioconda --> does install womtool

Is that the desired behavior?

@jonn-smith @lbergelson are any of those two (brew and conda) maintained? if not, 2.0 should have that fixed IMO.

I think we only maintain the brew releases. @lbergelson - is that right?

We should probably maintain both...

I have no objection to making the packages install womtool as a dependency.

#39 is probably the one that brought in conda. Should we own the maintenance? (I support that as long as the original author agrees)

womtool is an optional brew dependency to keep the install size small. You can do brew install cromshell --with-cromwell to get it.

It's easy to make it required but it takes it from a 10kb install to 100megs or something because womtool is packaged with cromwell.
