Description
If I ask Jenkins (or lsstsw) to build skymap the optional dependency of healpy is not included in the build. If I try to build afw it does include the optional dependencies of pyfits, matplotlib and afwdata. pipe_base does bring in its optional dependencies as well.
I haven't worked out what is "special" about skymap.
For an example Jenkins build: https://ci.lsst.codes/job/stack-os-matrix/label=centos-7,python=py3/14837//console

healpy can be found at https://github.com/lsst/healpy.git
It's a required dependency of sims_utils, sims_maf and sims_skybrightness. Optional dependency for skymap.
1. healpy is a Python library for HEALPIX, which is a civilized way of dividing up a sphere into regions in a hierarchy of levels. It's really useful for any large-scale analysis, and so is perfect for sims_*.
It stands for (I had to look this up): "Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization"
2. Because it's an optional dependency of skymap you should expect to see it in lsst_distrib "sometimes". This ticket is about the fact that "sometimes" is confusing and appears to be inconsistent. In general it seems that lsstsw builds all optional dependencies, but it doesn't build this one when building skymap.

An entity called "LSST Software Manager" explicitly excluded healpy from builds in 2014 (which was the first commit of lsstsw. Was that Mario Juric? Was this because at the time healpy didn't build at all?
I'll file a pull request. Sigh.
<facepalm> +1 on PR.
Thanks for the review. I'll merge once travis completes on the PR.
Merged.
Naive question, but what is healpy, and should I expect to see it in lsst_distrib?
