Announcements

• Some CEP drafts worth your attention:
  • Prefix replacement: https://github.com/conda/ceps/pull/180
  • Prefix placeholder positions: https://github.com/conda/ceps/pull/179
  • Repodata v3: https://github.com/conda/ceps/pull/146
  • Sigstore attestation: https://github.com/conda/ceps/pull/142

New agenda items

• (SM) Temperature-check on shared community V1 recipe linter.

  • xref: https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-smithy/issues/2234
  • JRG: Supportive of the idea, or at least sharing the rules. If we can reuse a library that makes linting implementation easier (source file, line numbers, etc), nice. Nice if we can arrive to a shared schema for the output that gets adapted to different frontends (CLI, Github comments)
  • NB: Linters are great, language servers are better (see https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/issues/2523)! The more declarative it could be, the better. Wishlist: make it runnable on a browser.
    • Also mentioned: https://github.com/semgrep/semgrep, https://github.com/biomejs/gritql
  • WV: rattler-build could also have a linter.
  • Discussion about Python or other languages: preference for Python, but Rust + something interpreted on top (like rhai)

• (TH): conda-sigstore prototype demo 🚀 (conda-sigstore)
