[mbargull]

There is a small metadata fix in gh-5158 which we should include before tagging.

(gh-5152 would also be convenient to include so we are prepared for necessary changes in 24.3; if it's too late to include that one, we might just have to handle/carry some workarounds for a couple of months -- so, not optimal, but also acceptable, given the very late submission of that PR 🙊...)

[chebee7i]

I just installed 24.1.1 and it seems like conda index no longer works?

$ conda build --version
conda-build 24.1.1
$ conda index --help

CommandNotFoundError: To use 'conda index', install conda-build.

Is this expected? It looks like it is maybe intended. But what is the replacement? The docs still mention conda index.

[dholth]

This is not expected. conda index should redirect to the new implementation, now or soon.

There is the standalone conda-index package which provides python -m conda_index <directory>. It has different python -m conda_index --help CLI options compared to the older command.

[kenodegard]

@chebee7i can you update to the latest version of conda-index=0.4.0 and see if that fixes it? if not please open a new issue so we can investigate further

[iamthebot]

Probably a dumb question but I searched and can't find the answer to this anywhere... is there a reason the conda-forge feedstock for conda-build has such a different version?

[kenodegard]

@iamthebot conda-build switched from SemVer to CalVer in January, see #4975 and the announcement from November
