Mark broken `conda`/`conda-build` version `24.5.0`

Open jakirkham opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Some issues cropped up recently with conda-build version 24.5.0 and our package validation tooling ( https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-ci-setup-feedstock/issues/317 )

This marks conda & conda-build version 24.5.0 broken while we work out those issues. We can add them back after the issues have been addressed


Guidelines for marking packages as broken:

  • We prefer to patch the repo data (see here) instead of marking packages as broken. This alternative workflow makes environments more reproducible.
  • Packages with requirements/metadata that are too strict but otherwise work are not technically broken and should not be marked as such.
  • Packages with missing metadata can be marked as broken on a temporary basis but should be patched in the repo data and be marked unbroken later.
  • In some cases where the number of users of a package is small or it is used by the maintainers only, we can allow packages to be marked broken more liberally.
  • We (conda-forge/core) try to make a decision on these requests within 24 hours.

What will happen when a package is marked broken?

  • Our bots will add the broken label to the package. The main label will remain on the package and this is normal.
  • Our bots will rebuild our repodata patches to remove this package from the repodata.
  • In a few hours after the anaconda.org CDN picks up the new patches, you will no longer be able to install the package from the main channel.

Checklist:

    • [ ] Added a description of the problem with the package in the PR description.
    • [ ] Pinged the team for the package for their input.
  • [ ] I want to archive a feedstock:

    • [ ] Pinged the team for that feedstock for their input.
    • [ ] Make sure you have opened an issue on the feedstock explaining why it was archived.
    • [ ] Linked that issue in this PR description.
    • [ ] Added links to any other relevant issues/PRs in the PR description.
  • [ ] I want to request (or revoke) access to an opt-in CI resource:

    • [ ] Pinged the relevant feedstock team(s)
    • [ ] Added a small description explaining why access is needed

Let's add a repodata patch to constrain the conda-build version in conda-forge-ci-setup.

Our primary plan is to try fixing the problem: https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-ci-setup-feedstock/pull/318

This is our backup plan

That said, if someone wants to put together an alternative backup plan, great!

Personally need to step away from the computer for a bit

Closing as we fixed in conda-forge-ci-setup
