Introductions

  • Matthias Bussonnier!

Announcements

  • (JL) Plugins
    • Need to scale updates and contribs
    • Plugins are a means to do this.
    • Also maintains stability in core.

New Agenda Items

  • (CHL) Yanking conda packages from PyPI
    • conda <=4.3.16 installed in ~/.local triggers AttributeError: module 'platform' has no attribute 'linux_distribution' errors when used with newer python & conda releases.
    • Yanking, not deleting!
      • MB: I would suggest also pushing a dummy new version with nothing in it. Potentially even that raise in setup.py with an informative error message.
    • May bring actually funcational conda back to PyPI at TBD
  • (DPC) Discourse Forum Update
  • (DPC) conda.org
    • Join us!
    • MB: I would advise looking first to who is going to write the code. Don't fall into the trap of making it targetted to non-technical users, and alienating technical one. Also when doing design, make sure you already have someone who is going to do the implementation.
  • (MB) conda.sh.
    • bash <(curl -L conda.sh) detect platforms. Help with windows ?
      • (can't | as installer needs stdin.)
      • JRG: I think stdin is disabled with the -b option enabled
    • conda-incubator project: https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda.sh
    • contributions welcome!
    • Someone set a reminder to renew domain before 2023-09-06!
      • Maybe also move ot off OVH ?
    • Don't mine crypto...
  • (JL) plugins kickoff phase 2
    • Higher level epic: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/11820
    • Various work streams in flight
      • plugins infrastructure (merged into feature branch)
      • new sub-commands plugin API (merged into feature branch)
      • virtual packages definitions as plugin hooks
      • pluginification of the solver API (libmamba solver as first case)
    • More use cases needed!
    • conda community project team for plugins?
  • (JRG) Invite conda-tree over to conda-incubator?
    • YES.
  • (MCS) Conda-build project status?
  • (MRB) help with conda-package-handling builds
  • (KR) Discuss recommendations from conda regarding environment creation and environment watching
    • conda create -n or create -p ?
    • Can environments.txt file be used for watching?
  • xxx
