Please provide linux-aarch64 Conda build

[martin-g]

Hi!

At https://anaconda.org/cryoem/eman-dev I see builds for linux-64, osx-64, osx-arm64 and win-64.
I'd like to request a build for Linux ARM64 too (aka linux-aarch64).

Thank you!

Please just compile from source. The instructions are dead simple. That is almost always a better option, as the binary builds are generally out of date. It also makes it much easier to switch between different specific versions if you need to: https://eman2.org/Install/SourceInstall

Thank you for the quick reply, @sludtke42 !

Our science department needs it. They prefer using a binary instead of building it.

I can build it locally and provide it for them but I would also be happy to create a feedstock at https://github.com/conda-forge and to keep it up-to-date if this is OK with you?

Probably better if we add it to our list of supported platforms. We have triggered rebuilds of the binaries only at stable points in GitHub development. What sort of machine is your science department using to need Linux ARM support? It isn't a widely used platform in biological sciences at this point...

We do almost everything on Linux ARM64 these days!
Initially we started migrating to Linux ARM64 in the cloud. All major cloud providers provide Linux ARM64 plans that are both cheaper and often better performing than x86_64! Since several months many of our scientists started using Linux ARM64 based desktops too.

We helped migrating 1/3 of the Bioconda x86_64 recipes to linux-aarch64 - https://bioconda.github.io/conda-package_index.html

And we also maintain Linux ARM64 builder nodes for the Bioconductor project:
