conda recipe for Systre

[kjappelbaum]

Hi @odf,

first of all: Thanks for this amazing work reticular chemists can no longer live without!

As you know many of us depend on Systre to to analyze the periodic graphs we often extract with some other code. I also wrote one such package (currently still a private repo, but happy to give you access) and would like to make it easy for other to use by making it installable via conda-forge.
Since I depend on Systre, I have two options of including it:

1. I could vendor it (i.e. the jar) with my conda package. However, this is not the cleanest option (conda tends to discourage vendoring)
2. We make a conda package for Systre. This would have the advantage that also others could easily reuse it and it can directly be updated when you make a new release on GitHub.

What do you think of that? I'd be happy to create the recipe and also maintain it. However, I'm also fine with just vendoring Systre.

Best,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

A conda package sounds like a good idea, especially if I don't have to do the work.

Cheers,

Hi Olaf,

finally found the time to create a recipe: conda-forge/staged-recipes#20687.
If you're ok with being a maintainer, it'd be great if you could say so in the pull request. I added both our GitHub usernames in the recipe.
(Also, I'm completely fine if you don't want me to be a maintainer).

Thanks,
Kevin
