Incompatible with `Snakemake>=8`

[votti]

Currently drop seems incompatible with the most recent Snakemake version.

Reproducible issue

• Install drop: mamba create -n drop_env_debug -c conda-forge -c bioconda drop --override-channels
• Move to a drop envrionment (eg the demo one)
• Run snakemake -n or any other snakemake command

Error:

Workaround

Restrict snakemake version during installation: mamba create -n drop_env -c conda-forge -c bioconda drop snakemake-minimal=7.32 --override-channels

Mitigation

• Change example installation command.
• Specify dependency in drop conda release
• This seems to be a wbuild issue and I will open add an issue there as well.
