β¨ Special announcement β¨β
This is an announcement about an important and positive future change in conda's functionality:
Following feedback from conda users about the pre-configuration of the conda code base to favor channels from Anaconda Inc, we've started the process to deprecate hardcoding Anaconda's channels as the default set of channels in the conda source code, which is a remnant of conda's incubation at the company.
In the future, we will rely on providers of conda distributions, such as miniforge or Anaconda (including miniconda), to pre-configure their preferred channels, e.g. by running the necessary conda config --set channels
command.
We're also going to continue to work on improving channel management in the foreseeable future and would love to get your feedback.
