A quick test indicates not, but I'd be interested in hearing more if anybody might know about this.
Gunnar Farnebäck (Feb 28 2024 at 16:06):I'm not sure I understand the question but if you set DEPOT_PATH to /tmp/testdepot, you will have your environments folder in /tmp/testdepot/environments and it won't be aware of anything you have in ~/.julia.
Timothy (Feb 28 2024 at 16:08):The experiment I did was:
/home/tec/.julia/environments/v1.10/environments/testenv/home/tec/.julia/environments/v1.10 to DEPOT_PATHOh, I think this may actually work.
Timothy (Feb 28 2024 at 16:08):I just checked if it had worked incorrectly.
Gunnar Farnebäck (Feb 28 2024 at 16:10):Ah, you're putting multiple things in DEPOT_PATH. I've only ever used it with a single directory, to emulate a pristine installation.
Timothy (Feb 28 2024 at 16:11):Yea, I'm trying to make per-version named environments managed by my startup.jl.
Mosè Giordano (Feb 28 2024 at 21:26):In general only the first depot is supposed to be writable, the following ones must be assumed to be read-only. So if you want to edit environments in those depots, that's probably a no?
