Plans to submit to bioconda or conda-forge? Building with cargo still requires having external C/C++ dependencies (like GSL) installed, and since GSL is in conda-forge it would simplify deployment.

conda-forge benefits:

  • You're added as the maintainer of the recipe/repo, so you don't depend on external review like in bioconda
  • Windows support
  • Additional platforms added before bioconda
  • Since bioconda is built on top of conda-forge, packages are available to bioconda users too.

An example PR (adding sccache): conda-forge/staged-recipes#10514
and the generated repo: https://github.com/conda-forge/sccache-feedstock

Bioconda benefits:

  • Bioinformatics focused
  • Doesn't support windows (if you don't want/need windows support)
