Conda installer

https://anaconda.org/bioconda/picard
linux-64 installer is 2.18.7, why not 3.0.0 like no arch?

[lappazos]

I'm not sure if it's related, but when calling conda install -c bioconda picard i get 2.18.29-SNAPSHOT
Only after calling also conda update -c bioconda picard i get Version:3.0.0

#1816

[kockan]

To my knowledge, we (maintainers of this repo) are currently not maintaining the bioconda installers, so those are not official. This does cause confusion and issues, so there is an ongoing discussion on whether we can/should.

[lappazos]

@kockan even if it's not official, can you please update the Picard in bioconda to 3.1.0? for those who do use it

In the distant past, bioconda built Picard for linux-64 etc due to the presence of platform-specific Intel libraries. However since at least 2016 those have been incorporated internally (and are used conditionally), and thereafter as an effectively plain Java JAR Picard is naturally noarch. So ignore the very old linux-64 version and use the current bioconda noarch packages.

In fact the bioconda packages just package the pre-built release JARs available from this repo's releases page as conda packages, so it's not particularly meaningful to query whether their contents are “official”. In any case, five times as many people have downloaded Picard 3.0.0 via bioconda as have directly from here, so I would suggest it is in the maintainers' interest to help ensure the bioconda packages work well.

Bioconda's 3.1.0 update was interrupted by some CI issues, but is now bioconda/bioconda-recipes#42742.

@jmarshall The Intel libraries are actually packaged inside of the Picard release jars, though the tools will automatically fall back to non-native Java code on platforms where the Intel libraries can't be loaded.

Not sure if this is related. But the current fresh install of picard is broken.

conda create -n picard bioconda::picard

But the picard will crash with the JAVA 11

picard
Error: LinkageError occurred while loading main class picard.cmdline.PicardCommandLine
       	java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: picard/cmdline/PicardCommandLine has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 61.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 55.0

Picard will work when I force installing the 2.27.5

[kockan]

I believe this is not related, it's a Java version issue. Picard moved to Java 17 as of version 3.0.0, so Java 11 will not work here.
