PR: Testing Scipy install using system site packages. - #4
Conversation

@mehdisadeghi , @kitchoi According to some discussions in forums it's possible to configure Travis to use system site packages for some Python libraries instead of 1) compiling these libraries from source, 2) using ccache, or 3) using Miniconda. Problem with compiling the library is that it might be very slow. Also, using ccache can be slow (in the order of minutes to tens of minutes) depending on the size of the file that is downloaded. Miniconda is fast (see #3 ), but since many developers working in SimPhoNy are not using it, using it here would just result to a different environment (compared to their development systems) for testing the code integration. If you're interested, please, try the compiling_from_scratch_approach to create the cache file for SciPy, and check how slow it is in use. It would be great if we could have a better control of the version number of the library that way. Other than that, I'd like to hear your opinion on using Miniconda vs. system site packages. |
