wow that CircleCI link did not format nicely at all

OK @rbeucher here's the deal: mamba refuses to solve the environment even if one grabs the latest conda=23.10 and mamba=1.5.3. On the flipside though, proj=9.3 can be installed post-facto, after the env has been created; the env gets altered heavily with mamba updating about 85 dependencies and changing builds for a good 50 others (most striking is changing from nompi to mpich builds, which is not necessarily evil but not good either), however, the tool installs and behaves well. So how about we just mention that eg "to get your NSDIC cmorization work done please upgrade proj to such and such" for now; once our env has been updated, and proj=9.3 is a bit more mature, we'll have it in no doubt. Which also made me gasp a little, @bouweandela and @zklaus - we have a set of fairly old dependencencies in our env, some stuff that's 2 or 3 minor versions below the latest, mambaforge being stuck at 2 clicks older is not helping, but can we maybe update the Circle conda/mamba? I'll have a look at that. Also, am hoping we can get Python 3.12 soon, so we modernize proper (am working on that on multiple fronts) :+1:

OK sure. Works for me

want to add that bit of info to the docs, @rbeucher, and close this then? :beer:

rbeucher commented 9 months ago

Yes I will add that to the doc. Thanks @valeriupredoi
