In Will the conda-forge feedstock be maintained? (can’t post on old topics, so reopening) I asked about the plans for the conda-forge ROOT feedstock (GitHub - conda-forge/root-feedstock: A conda-smithy repository for root.) to be maintained and was pointed to a presentation from @Danilo on 2025-01-22 that had (Slide 22)
Builds and Binaries
Priority 1:
► Make all 6.3X releases available on Conda (continuous)
There have been no commits to GitHub - conda-forge/root-feedstock: A conda-smithy repository for root. by ROOT team in 2025 (though I think that’s only because 6.34.06 by vepadulano · Pull Request #288 · conda-forge/root-feedstock · GitHub is erroring as of last attempted build in April) and all rerenders to support the feedstock have been done by Chris Burr as a volunteer or Duncan Macleod (who conda-forge/core
added as a maintainer after being unable to get any response from @conda-forge/root
on Rebuild cfitsio462 [patch] by duncanmmacleod · Pull Request #294 · conda-forge/root-feedstock · GitHub).
ROOT is a complex project and I fully understand and appreciate that priorities might have needed to shift (and ROOT Team is already doing a ton of amazing work!). Is conda-forge support still on the roadmap for 2025, or has that gotten bumped? If it got bumped to 2026, is there a new roadmap presentation for it? The ROOT POW - Google Sheets Google Sheet (https://cern.ch/root-pow
) doesn’t seem to have any updates, but I’ve also been doing a terrible job of making meetings so it is very possible that this has already been discussed and I just haven’t paid enough attention.
