Your __new__() agenda items

  • [x] (JRG): Upcoming GPU/long-job CI service. Question about mentioning partners/sponsors.

    • Quansight reached an agreement with a client to support this out of the goodness of their heart.

  • [x] (JRG): UI/UX updates on new website and dashboard.

  • [x] (JK) GLIBC 2.28

    • https://almalinux.org/blog/impact-of-rhel-changes/

    • JK: CentOS 7 is EOL in 1 yr https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/linux/centos-linux-eol (June 30, 2024)

    • MRB: We just wait and see what Alma does?

    • IF: Maybe we can try Debian if needed.

  • [ ] (JK) Windows + ARM

  • [x] (JRG) Update conda-forge teams and subteams

  • [X] (JRG) Definition of conda-forge (see PR)

  • [x] (HV) Boost unification

    • PR blocked on scope: unify & rename (as previously discussed) or also switch to -devel packages (which IMO opens a CFEP-20-sized can of worms)

    • Migrator PR +/- complete – would like to do this before CPython 3.12 in the fall

  • [x] (HV) Windows Fortran migration

    • Open since 2 years; fortran-on-win-migratability will be important soon (scipy will need a new flang version to support windows builds for Python 3.12 at all; without migration we’d get run-dep conflicts with other libflang-dependents)

    • Migrator work that Isuru wanted has been done – can we start?

    • Side benefit: Would enable openblas+openmp on windows

  • [X] (HV) PyPy 3.10 Migration?

    • Last PyPy release introduced PyPy 3.10 and dropped PyPy 3.8

    • Current round of NEP29 releases (numpy, scipy, etc.) already dropping 3.8

    • Possibly migrate PyPy 3.10 & drop PyPy 3.8? When?

  • [ ] (JK) Drop CentOS 6 & use CentOS 7

    • https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/issues/1436

  • [x] (WV) Sneak Peek of new resolver

    • Port of libsolv to Rust.

  • [x] (WV) Anybody wants to talk about pixi? https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi

  • [x] (KK) Is the current functionality for anaconda.org’s package instructions/metadata editing good enough?

    • Don’t have a ton of background on this, but: https://github.com/conda/infrastructure/discussions/649

    • You can remove install instructions on .org now. Is that enough?

    • Certain packages are build on different feedstocks even though they have the same name

    • https://github.com/conda-forge/graalpy-feedstock/issues/4

    • Expand sorting functionality of packages - sort by architecture, etc.?

    • Somehow linking to recipes (feedstock link on page)

    • Matt+John send details on api call behavior we ran into recently

Pushed to next meeting

  • [ ] (JK) Windows + ARM

  • [ ] (JK) Drop CentOS 6 & use CentOS 7
