I'd say let's just keep it in wiki-ai/ for now?

As for debs, in labs we can just store them in an aptly setup.

How is this card different from https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T107972?

@Halfak that's about writing the package files, etc. This is actually building the .debs and putting them in a place somewhere.

@awight, what's the status here? Anything I can help with?

It's me! I will try to get more of this going next week - I'm trying to
import all of them into gerrit...

We've been having a lot of trouble with sklearn. I was looking for alternatives to .deb. It looks like Python Wheels may be a nice alternative. They encapsulate a pre-compiled/pre-organized set of files streamlined for installation. The best part is that you can install without executing any arbitrary python code.

I was able to compile a whl on my laptop (Trusty 14.04) for sklearn, scp that file to stat1003.eqiad.wmnet (Trusty 14.04) and then install the whl without issue.

@Halfak hey can you document the trouble you're having with sklearn? The deb build works AFAIK, you just need to grab the right repo, whatever it says in the card...

Sorry! I was confused. I thought we were still stick on that deb. What task/docs do I reference to find out the necessary details to start testing on labs?

I've already built the package and added to the repo server!

What's a repo server? How do I access it?

Also, does that mean that this task is done? :D

I'm on my way out of town, maybe @yuvipanda can help? This task is not
quite done cos we're trying to do git build package layout so that
maintenance upgrades are simpler...

@yuvipanda
Can you confirm, is this task still a high priority for production deployment, and the next steps are to finish adapting for gbp? Or did you have a way around .debs entirely?

Looks like we can do bdist wheels just fine. @schana, would you be interested in picking this up?
