- Oh that's great!
- Glad to hear it! FWIW when I was regularly doing reproducible analysis in arm64 Linux dev containers a couple years ago, pak pulled down binaries no problem. (I also didn’t have the patience for 10 minute Docker builds every time a package dep changed 😅)Jul 23, 2025 06:43
- Linux containers != packaging. bsky.app/profile/matt... Also, correct, you should have zero patience for that dev cycle, though until maybe 3 years ago this was realistically a way to do it for complex dependencies (e.g. CUDA). Now CUDA environments can be trivially handled with Pixi + conda-forge.
- 100% agree! I say it more to illustrate that I do recall pak binary versions of packages on Linux, at least the way it was configured on this image. I’m not sure why it didn’t for you. Thanks for engaging with us all in this topic, btw!
