Google Summer of Code 2020 improved automatic maintenance of conda-forge
· 3 min read
The conda-forge
"autotick" bot is a crucial part of conda-forge
's
infrastructure. It enables automatic maintenance of conda-forge
packages by pushing version updates to the underlying software and
enabling large migrations of packages from one dependency to another
(e.g., Python 3.7 to Python 3.8). As conda-forge
grows in size, with
over 9,000 packages to date, automatic maintenance of the conda-forge
ecosystem will become even more important.
