Create conda package

This is a short description on how to update the conda-forge recipe for cellpy:

  • Fork

    If not already done, make a fork of https://github.com/conda-forge/cellpy-feedstock

  • Clone

    If not already done, clone the repo (your-name/cellpy-feedstock)

    >>> git clone https://github.com/your-name/cellpy-feedstok.git
>>> git remote add upstream https://github.com/conda-forge/cellpy-feedstock
  • Get recent changes
    >>> git fetch upstream
>>> git rebase upstream/main

    This can also be done (I think) via the web interface by navigating to your fork and clicking the button “Sync fork”.

  • Make a new branch in your local clone
    >>> git checkout -b update_x_x_x
  • Edit

    • hash (pypi - release history - Download files)

    • version (use normalized format e.g. 0.5.2a3 not 0.5.2.a3!)

    • build number (should be 0 for new versions)

  • Add and commit

    e.g. “updated feedstock to version 1.0.1”

  • Push
    >>> git push origin <branch-name>
  • Re-render if needed (different requirements, platforms, issues)
    >>> conda install -c conda-forge conda-smithy
>>> conda smithy rerender -c auto

    This can also be done (I think) via adding a special comment during the pull request/merging on github.

  • Create a pull request via the web interface by navigating to https://github.com/your-name/cellpy-feedstok.git with your web browser and clicking the button create pull request.

  • Wait until the automatic checks have complete (takes several minutes)

  • Merge pull request (big green button)

  • Drink a cup of coffee or walk the dog

  • Check if the new version is there:
    >>> conda search -f cellpy

  • Now you can delete the branch (if you want)
