Some conda packages do not exist anymore

[AndreScaffidi]

I had a working install of pax. I then found myself needing to reinstall, however using the conda version specified in the installation guide (4.1.1) I got errors saying that the linux-headers no longer existed as well as some other conflicts.

Instead of listing them all, would it be possible to update the code? At the very least would it be possible to getdetails of an exact working conda build with all prerequisites for installed?

Hi Andre,

What are you using pax for? This tool has been abandoned as we moved within XENON to:

https://github.com/xenonnt/straxen
https://github.com/axfoundation/strax

Cheers,
Chris

Unfortunately python 3.4 is no longer on conda, and rootpy has been abandoned in favor of uproot.

... however, pax almost works on python 3.6, ROOT 6.18, and other packages as resolved by conda/pip. See the fix_travis_maybe branch, specifically its travis.yml. It passes all tests except for one related to ROOT output reprocessing, which crashes when reading one particular field (hits). This field is a bit weird, so maybe it will work for you if you don't need that field. If you don't need the ROOT output at all, you have an even better chance.

But as Chris wrote, pax is not actively used/developed anymore; I'd use strax(en) if you have a choice.
