Do we need a package manager like conda? Rubygems has worked fine for me so far.

@v0dro I replaced the title from conda to fat gem support for Windows.
What I wanted to discuss is binary gem.
It is hard to (build and) install SciRuby gems on Windows.

[cosmo0920]

Modern building binary included gem, which is called as fat gem, is using rake-compiler-dock.
Or, completely handle building fat gem on Windows like as: https://github.com/cosmo0920/win32-api/blob/master/Rakefile#L61

I think that choosing building fat gem with rake-compiler-dock is better.

What do you think of this - https://rubygems.org/gems/conda?

[kozo2]

@v0dro I think this doesn't help much. This gem just installs conda packages.
What we need is not installing but creating Ruby conda packages (or rather I should say binary gem).

[v0dro]

We'll need to build something like conda for Ruby I think.
