2020-02-05 conda-forge core meeting

Attendees​

Agenda​

Your agenda items​

  • Recurring Anaconda update on what's going on on our side.
    • conda / conda-build update, if any
    • (Eric) Update on "is Anaconda open to opening up permissions on conda-build to others?"
      • In the mean time, maybe more firmly suggest that the distribution team members attend.
  • (Eric) Results of conda-forge dev meeting survey
    • (Marcel) Please also send the result/numbers via email to let people who won't/can't attend next week (and to make it more visible than only in HackMD notes).

Push everything below this to next week

  • (FF) The blog is "ready" but we need a Jekyll expert to take a look at it. The layout and page publication is not OK.
    • https://conda-forge.org/blog/
    • Need some help debugging the site
    • (link to the PR?)
    • Maybe jekyll configuration?
    • (pkgw) 404's on the asset files because they're not being prefixed correctly
    • Maybe ping Rocklin for help?

Subteam updates​

Bot​

ARM​

POWER​

CUDA​

  • Question: are we ready to advertise this? If so should we Tweet and do a NumFOCUS update about it?
    • (IF) Not until https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/pull/9804
    • (jakirkham) that PR probably isn't mergable. #9804 is an attempt at getting this working.
      • Generally, you can add cuda support to an existing feedstock (not documented how to do this)
      • There's no support for testing the cuda support in staged-recipes right now.
    • next steps:
      • write a blog post
      • update docs

website​

CI infrastructure​

  • (UK) Drone issues: https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/issues/954
    • next steps: UK to reach out to drone.io and ask them about these issues.
    • AS & MvN were talking - we have CI resources on Azure. Change conda-forge.yml for aarch64 so that it gets built on Azure for the emulated environment as opposed to not building on drone.io
      • (jjhelmus) Azure used to be default - moved to drone because they have real aarch64 hardware and real hardware is faster and less prone to error.
      • travis-ci might now be an option too since they have aarch support.
      • (mvn) given that dotnetcore supports aarch64 now, azure workers might soon.
    • We're all in agreement that we shouldn't switch back to azure.
    • TODO: jakirkham will open an issue on conda-smithy to investigate this. (ping the aarch team)
