Conda Recipe for PyMeep Nightly Build

Steps to update

Whenever a new official Meep tarball is released on GitHub, recipe/meta.yaml requires the following changes:

1. Increment the version number (the version jinja variable). The nightly build should be one minor version above the most recent official release, followed by .dev. For example, if the current nightly package version is 1.9.1.dev, and a new Meep 1.10.0 is released, the the nightly package version should become 1.10.1.dev.

2. Reset the buildnumber jinja variable to 0.

3. Verify that all build, host, and run dependencies are up to date in the requirements section.

4. Verify that the build steps in recipe/build.sh are up to date.

Travis Cron Jobs

Every day, Travis CI will run the job in https://github.com/Simpetus/trigger-nightly-builds. It will check for updates to meep, and automatically push to this repository, bumping the buildnumber, if it finds any. That will in turn trigger a new package upload when CI for this repo runs. Manual updating is only required when a new version of meep is released.
