Introductions
Announcements
- We have under 900 open conda issues! 🎉
New Agenda Items
- (JK) Handling overlapping
*s ( https://github.com/conda/conda/pull/11612 )- Any thoughts?
- CHL: seems like we should deal with it. Maybe one of several corner cases.
- Way we handle mutexes is to encode information in build strings; makes it challenging to select multiple bits of information
- (JK) Unexpected
*behavior with!=( https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/11744 )- Which implementation of this should we be using?
- Globbing is favored. Regex is not how it is written up. We treat it as a glob elsewhere.
- (CHL) Want to avoid regex because versions would get really annoying.
- (MRB) Status of this PR: https://github.com/Anaconda-Platform/anaconda-client/pull/614
- Just asked, haven't heard.
- Needed anaconda.org server changes should be deployed 2022-09-06 (Tues); anaconda.org client should be released shortly thereafter.
- (DPC) Outreachy
- Community applications for Dec. 2022 -- Mar. 2023 cohort due end of next week
- Actual project submissions are due a week or two after that.
- But we should only submit a conda community application if we know we will have projects.
- (DPC) Governance
- Two people, or not two people, that is the question.
- (DPC) Conda Channel Consolidation report
- conda.discourse.org requested
- Element actually looks viable.
- (FF) Naming (and packaging) julia packages
https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/issues/1822
- naming standards
- (SA) conda signature verification public feature preparation (questions, tests, CEP, integrations?)
- What we be useful for Seb to provide here?
- No input at this time
- (DPC) conda-env-builder and incubation in general
- overlap with conda-lock.
- Should we avoid too many tools doing similar/same things in the conda org?
- General consensus was welcome overlapping tools,
- Have each tool clarify wghhat the other options are.
- (CJW) Add an additional script type
- post-create, a post environment creation hook.
What is this meeting for?
