Does anyone know how Uv performs in the Geo-Package-Space? (i.e. GDAL, geopandas, cartopy, pyproj, rasterio etc.) This is the one area where I still find that conda performs best because all the authors of these packages use the conda-forge channel themselves for testing and production.
I believe the actual packaging technology is no different from pip - so if these packages don't install cleanly with `pip`, they won't install cleanly with `uv pip` either. If you need conda packages, uv isn't planning on supporting them [1]. [1] https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1703
Yes, there are several geopackages that will only work reliably with conda (GDAL, cartopy etc.), even under Linux.
