<font color='black' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Given the <font size="2">monumental work of Brian and Bob to develop GAS-II, I think their decision on updates, etc make good sense. I havn't felt the urge to learn Anaconda and Python and prefer a narrower focus on functionality. I think the community should thank Bob and Brian for their efforts!<br>

Subject: Re: [GSAS-II] Plans for conda<br>
<br>
Due to the very frequent updates we make to GSAS-II (both to fix bugs and to address enhancement requests) we don’t have a traditional development cycle with periodic software releases — for this reason we want people to install GSAS-II from our subversion server. This allows for frequent updates. <br>
<br>
We do use conda-constructor to build a distribution kit (see <a href="https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/trac/pyGSAS/browser/install" target="_blank">https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/trac/pyGSAS/browser/install</a> for files to build the placeholder g2pkg package and the g2conda miniconda-with-extras). I suppose this could be converted to a conda recipe that would allow GSAS-II to be installed from inside conda. My experience is that most GSAS-II users are not that interested in learning about learning to use anaconda and Python and want something simple to use. I am interested in hearing who would want a conda recipe and why. <br>
<br>
I’d be happy to have it available if someone wants to adapt what I have (provided that the recipe downloads the svn conda package and installs GSAS-II via subversion with the supplied bootstrap.py file.) <br>
