+This package allows one to use [conda](http://conda.pydata.org/) as a cross-platform binary provider for Julia for other Julia packages,

 `conda` is a package manager which started as the binary package manager for the
 Anaconda Python distribution, but it also provides arbitrary packages. Instead
 of the full Anaconda distribution, `Conda.jl` uses the miniconda Python
 environment, which only includes `conda` and its dependencies.

-type. You first need to write a [conda
-recipe](http://conda.pydata.org/docs/building/recipe.html), and upload the
-corresponding build to [binstar](https://binstar.org/). Then, add Conda in your
-REQUIRE file, and add the following to your `deps/build.jl` file:

-```julia
-using BinDeps
-@BinDeps.setup
-netcdf = library_dependency("netcdf", aliases = ["libnetcdf","libnetcdf4"])
-

-using Conda
-provides(Conda.Manager, "libnetcdf", netcdf)

-If your dependency is available in another channel than the default one, you
-should register that channel.

-```julia
-using Conda
-Conda.add_channel("my_channel")

-If the binary dependency is only available for some OS, give this information to
-BinDeps:
