Desman missing from conda dependencies

[chrisquince]

Desman is not on our list of conda dependencies - I tried installing it through conda though and it failed perhaps we need to create our own Desman conda package?

Ok, that's quite the overlook. We have it as a submodule, so we could just refer to it and add it's dependencies?

[chrisquince]

Hmmm... well yes we would need people to install it then. It is not recommended to mix conda and native installs. But as I said my conda desman install failed. We could try and get the maintainer of that package to fix it.

[Sebastien-Raguideau]

Does Desman needs compiling? Otherwise, install is just make it availlable in the path + having all its dependencies?

Since its your package that is likely to be changed why is it bad to have a submodule dependency?

I wouldn't want to rely on some other maintainer for DESMAN
