admin requests
This repo is for making requests to conda-forge/core for various administrative
tasks.
Mark packages as broken on conda-forge
If you want to mark a package as broken on conda-forge, send a Pull Request
adding a new .txt file in broken/ with a list of the full names of the packages
to which the broken label will be added. See broken/example.txt for an example.
Guidelines for marking packages as broken:
- We prefer to patch the repo data (see here) instead of marking packages as broken. This alternative workflow makes environments more reproducible.
- Packages with requirements/metadata that are too strict but otherwise work are not technically broken and should not be marked as such.
- Packages with missing metadata can be marked as broken on a temporary basis but should be patched in the repo data and be marked unbroken later.
- In some cases where the number of users of a package is small or it is used by the maintainers only, we can allow packages to be marked broken more liberally.
- We (
conda-forge/core) try to make a decision on these requests within 24 hours.
Mark packages as not broken on conda-forge
If you want to remove the broken label from packages on conda-forge, send a Pull Request
adding a new .txt file in not_broken/ with a list of the full names of the packages
for which the label broken will be removed. See not_broken/example.txt for an example.
