Testing
After construction on Travis, the installer is tested against a range of distribution that match the installer architecture ($ARCH). For example when architecture is aarch64, the constructed installer is tested against:
- Centos 7
- Debian Buster (10)
- Ubuntu 16.04
- Ubuntu 18.04
- Ubuntu 19.10
Usage
Installers are built and uploaded via Travis but if you want to construct your own Miniforge installer, here is how:
# Configuration
export ARCH=aarch64
export DOCKERIMAGE=condaforge/linux-anvil-aarch64
bash build_miniforge.shRelease
To release a new version of Miniforge:
- Make a new pre-release on GitHub with name
$CONDA_VERSION-$BUILD_NUMBER - Wait until all artifacts are uploaded by CI
- For each build, we upload 3 artifacts
- One installer with the version name
- One installer without the version name
- The SHA256
- At the time of writing, the is a sum of 24 artifacts, and with the two sources, we expect a grand total of 26 artifacts.
- For each build, we upload 3 artifacts
- Mark the pre-release as a release
NOTE: using a pre-release is important to make sure the latest links work.
