[Bigbang-dev] BBIP 1: Installation through environment.yaml file

[Sebastian Benthall]

Hi all,

I have elevated an issue to BBIP status because it is a major change that
would effect the whole community if implemented.

It's a proposal to change the supported installation of BigBang to use a
conda environment file.

This would replace the existing custom conda-setup.sh script (which I wrote
because I didn't know about environment files) and the optional alternative
pip installation path (which experience has shown is hard to maintain).

https://github.com/datactive/bigbang/issues/248

I'm +1 on this issue.

I see now that as written, there's a bug in the bylaws
<https://github.com/datactive/bigbang/wiki/Governance>, since I think by
the precise wording this needs two more +1's from active Core Developers.
But there aren't enough core developers to pass it!

So really I'm asking for feedback on two things:

   - substantively, your opinion on this BBIP. Please register your vote
   (+1, +0, -0, -1) on the ticket
   - procedurally, ways to fix the bylaw bug :)

In the meantime, I'll work on a pull request for this issue so you can see
what it will look like in practice and try it out.

All best,
Seb
