glue

If I go through installation process for latest development version as described here to pull in all the dependencies. The command conda remove glueviz should remove only glueviz package but it removes all the dependencies that conda conda install -c glueviz glueviz command pulls.

But If I use conda remove --force glueviz as conda documentation says:

 --force            Forces removal of a package without removing packages
                    that depend on it. Using this option will usually
                    leave your environment in a broken and inconsistent
                    state

It only removes glueviz as we want.

Yes, that appears to be odd behaviour on the side of conda, since glueviz is a meta-package that depends on those other packages, and not the other way around. That said, since it does not install anything by itself, I don't see a strong reason to remove it from the development environment. I am wondering if the docs rather meant to say conda remove glue-core, analogously to glue-vispy-viewers below. But even that does not seem to be necessary, since pip will automatically uninstall the conda version first.

Yeah, it might actually make sense to modify the instructions to just start with an empty environment and pip install the dev version in there.
