Your __new__() agenda items

• (JK) We/NVIDIA are hiring.
  • https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite/job/US-CA-Remote/Senior-Engineer--Infrastructure--Build--and-Packaging---RAPIDS_JR1973615
• (HV) next steps for MacOS 10.13
  • jinja for stdlib("c") was merged into conda-build (not yet released)
  • what's the next step? admin migration to add {{ stdlib("c") }} wherever there's a {{ compiler("c") }}?
  • MRB recommends agains an admin migration as too intrusive. Be better to have a mini-migrator that rolls it out to new feed stocks.
  • JRG: 4.3k recipes with compiler('c') (gh search)
  • MRB will comment about places where (linux) sysroot is set in our infra in the issue.
  • WV will open an issue or a CFEP for this discussion.
  • This issue came up because there is a part of the build that is hidden, it is not exposed anywhere
• (HV) Tracking issue for CUDA 12 on win?
  • https://github.com/conda-forge/cuda-nvcc-feedstock got windows support today
  • Something like [https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/issues/21382] for windows?
  • JK: No issue yet. Would be good to confirm that it works before we start rolling it out everywhere
• (WV) First CEP for recipe spec accepted 🎉 ... now unto the next
  • https://github.com/conda-incubator/ceps/blob/main/cep-13.md (accepted)
  • https://github.com/conda-incubator/ceps/pull/56 (the next one!)
  • Pure YAML.
  • There is another CEP for key/values.
  • Drastic changes to multiple outputs.
  • Large changes to the test section.
    • List of tests, composed of test elements.
  • JRG: only ~100 recipes use for loops [search]
  • (MRB) Be careful when just abandoning keys in current spec. They were put there for a reason. Try to understand those reasons, even if we don't keep them.
• (MB) Intent to archive ruamel_yaml feedstock
  • https://github.com/conda-forge/ruamel_yaml-feedstock/issues/107
  • conda now dependent on upstream version.
• (DPC) Anything to highlight in the November conda newsletter?
• (DPC) Is it time to get off twitter?
  • FF: We should mmove period.
    • BlueSky account is secured.
    • Not clear which Mastodon server we should use
    • It's a slow move. We should have both for some time.
    • Point Twitter to new one
    • Dave and Filipe will coordinate across conda-forge and conda.
