A small question. Will we be making the packages public by setting up a web server using reprepro or using services like Launchpad? because from this link it seems like launchpad currently doesn't support Fedora, Arch Linux, etc. However, I came to know there's Fedora People.org for Fedora.

No own webserver, just packages integrated into standard ways to distribute packages

I have a pending PR open at homebrew-science for shogun 4.0: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science/pull/1818

I have been a linuxbrew user for 6 months now and find it pretty helpful. homebrew-science formulae are also bottled which is essentially an OS, architecture specific packaged binary. The bottles are currently packaged only for Mac OS, however it is in pipeline for Linux distros[See: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science/issues/1795]

I wanted to gauge the line of thought behind this issue. Is this not an acceptable way of distribution, given that i does not rely on sudo?

@karlnapf With the introduction of conda-forge, cobra recipe for Shogun would be nice and easy. I can work on making a recipe for conda-forge

[karlnapf]

@souravsingh That would be amazing++ please send a patch and we can iterate on the PR

[souravsingh]

@karlnapf Should I wait until #3132 is finished before writing the conda-forge recipe or start right away?

[karlnapf]

Actually, we have a setup.py now ( I closed the other issue) , so go for it! :)

[souravsingh]

I have written the conda-forge recipe here- https://github.com/souravsingh/staged-recipes/blob/recipe_shogun/recipes/Shogun/meta.yaml
It is a work in progress.Any suggestions welcome!
