[mapserver-users] conda-forge feedstock established for mapserver

[Herzmann, Daryl E [AGRON]]

Greetings,

conda-forge (https://conda-forge.org) is a community project to deliver packages via the conda package manager.  This ecosystem is mostly python + R specific, but there's an expansive stack of software available and pretty much everything necessary to make mapserver work.

I've established a conda-forge feedstock of mapserver and will be iterating over the coming days to see how many cmake options I can enable :)  So sometime in the near future, you can install mapserver + python mapscript with:

$ conda config --prepend channels conda-forge  # use conda-forge channel first
$ conda config --set channel_priority strict  # best practice for using conda-forge
$ conda install mapserver

If you have interest in participating within this feedstock and helping to build out functionality, please chime in with PRs or issues asking to be added as a maintainer :)

Thanks for reading this message.  I hope the community finds this useful.
