Operating System Technology

Binaries

Pre-compiled Binaries

• BinDeps.jl :: Tool for building binary dependencies for Julia modules.
• Conda.jl :: Conda managing Julia binary dependencies.
• Julia-0.3.9 for Linux 64-bit, as a gzipped tar ball.
• Build an executable binary with this script

Package/Infrastructure management tools and Documentation

• Official Julia Package list.
• METADATA.jl :: The official set of Julia packages.
• MetadataTools.jl :: Functionality to analyze the structure of Julia's METADATA repository.
  • packages.julialang.org :: Concept for a next-gen package listing.
  • cache.julialang.org :: Super-simple bottle-caching infrastructure for the site.
  • Package Development Documentation
    
• Help.jl :: Reverse documentation for Julia.

DOCS

• Official Julia Package list.
• The Julia package manager manual
  • Package Development Documentation

Containers-Virtualization

Ansible

• Ansible and Docker
• julia-ansible-scripts :: Various julia ansible scripts for provisioning servers, buildbots etc...

Docker

• Docker image for Julia.
• julia :: Docker Official Image packaging for Julia.
• RudeOil.jl :: A package to easily interact with docker and docker-machine.

Vagrant

• julia-vagrant :: Packer/Vagrant script recipes for making virtual machines (VM's) - create Vagrant boxes and Openstack images for performing builds and tests of Julia.

DistrOS

Debian-Ubuntu

• APT.jl :: A module to manipulate Debian Advanced Package Tool (APT). It comes with pnlt, an executable that allows to manage package name lists.
• DebbyPacker.jl :: Set of scripts to "easily" create debian packages.
• Julia-Debian :: Elliot Saba (@staticfloat) packages nightlies, consisting of a repo with just the packaging metadata, that gets used by a repo with automated buildscripts. It is highly recommended to use the Julia PPA releases if you are having build problems with Julia on Debian-Ubuntu systems. In a terminal, type the following commands:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:staticfloat/juliareleases
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:staticfloat/julia-deps
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:staticfloat/julianightlies
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
    sudo apt-get install julia

NotaBene: The PPA julianightlies will pull the master (unstable) branch from github, so if you are not interested in the unstable bleeding-edge version of JULIA, stick to the stable release versions that are usually tagged as vX.X branches.

Fedora-RHEL

• Fedora :: Milan Bouchet-Valat (@nalimilan on github) maintains the builds for Fedora 19 and 20, a mirror is also available from the Fedoraprojet site.
• RPMmd.jl :: A front-end installer for RPM-md packages and a fork of WinRPM.jl.
• WinRPM.jl :: RPM-md processing library - WinRPM is an installer for RPM packages provided by an RPM-md build system.

PowerPC

• Getting Julia to build on PowerPC under Linux and the devel thread on julia-dev.

OSX

• Homebrew.jl :: OSX Binary dependency provider for Julia.

Packaging

• PkgDev.jl :: Julia Package Development Kit.
• JuliaPackageMirrors :: An organization that mirrors/archives and tracks METADATA - the official Julia package manager for all registered Julia packages. https://github.com/JuliaPackageMirrors/mirror-updater
• METADATA.jl :: The official set of Julia packages.
  • MetadataTools.jl :: Functionality to analyze the structure of Julia's METADATA repository.
  • JuliaArchive :: Abandoned packages that no longer have a maintainer or no longer fit into the Julia oraganization that initially hosted the package are listed in the Julia Archive organisation.
• Compat.jl :: A package for cross-version compatibility between Julia v0.3 and v0.4 - takes care of syntax breakage and provides compatibility constructs that will work in both versions without warnings.
  
• DeclarativePackages.jl :: (jdp for short), allows the project to declaratively specify which Julia packages are being used, with exact version or commit details.
• Julia Ecosystem Status :: Track the status of various parts of the Julia language ecosystem; from nightly binary builds of Julia to automated testing of packages.
• julia-buildbot :: Buildbot configuration for build.julialang.org. It is written in Python and is listed by virtue of being a tool used within the Julia ecosystem.
• julia-require :: Macros to make loading (and reloading) files in Julia easier. {NB: Not maintained for the current Julia releases}.
• Kip.jl :: A metadata free package manager for Julia.
• PackageEvaluator.jl :: The Julia package evaluator.
