Hi everyone, I am not sure if I have to post this discussion here or on Arch Linux's forums, so sorry if this is not the right place. As far as I understood, this library is written in C++ and wrapped with Python. So it is similar to other high-performance libraries (like Numpy) in such sense. Other libraries, like Numpy itself, are available trough precompiled packages for almost every main distribution (including Arch). Currently precompiled (I think) graph-tool packages are available just for Debian and Ubuntu, while Arch has only an AUR package which "unfortunately" require compilation. I think this library is awesome and should have a precompiled Arch package to make it immediate to install on such systems, so that way, for example, we can just treat it like a normal package dependency to other packages simplifing developement and distribution of other software who require graph-tool and ask less expert users just to type a bunch of simple commands to install the package instead of compile it. Is it possible to do such a thing? If yes, do you plan to do it? Should I ask on Arch forums instead? I understand C++ makes thigs difficult for portability, but the majority of linux libraries are written in C and have a precompiled package on major distributions. But, as i sayed, graph-tool it is similar (I think) to a lot of neat C++/Python libraries which have an Arch precompiled package. Does create an Arch package ask too much effort for graph-tool developers in order maintain the software? Please, tell me if I am wrong on something and thanks in advance for your reply. One of the coolest libraries I ever seen! Even the documentation is awesome (love the fact thath you specify types even in a weak-typed language, the notes on complexity of the algorithms...) and today is a rare thing :) --Daniele -- Sent from: http://main-discussion-list-for-the-graph-tool-project.982480.n3.nabble.com/
