the conversation in that issue suggests they will need quite a bit of time to move to Miniforge3; in the meantime, we'll most probably experience the "brownouts" via RTD not building our docs, and that very frequently in November, so I suggest we move to the (old style) Miniconda container in our RTD config, in the meantime, what do @ESMValGroup/technical-lead-development-team folk think?
We retired Mambaforge in #3774 and #3778 - everywhere in ESMValTool, apart from the RTD configuration, since at the mo I don't think they support a Miniforge3 variant, and going back to Miniconda is just silly, see https://github.com/readthedocs/readthedocs.org/issues/11690
We reverted to
miniconda-latest
in #3785 and, as @bouweandela found out, that configuration is taking significantly less to build the environment (since mamba is the default solver for miniconda), so, we may want to keep it permanently; if we decide to test with Miniforge3, when it becomes available, the previous commands in the readthedocs.yml file were useful:So that we don't keep commented out code floating about, I will remove those calls, and maybe put them back when using Miniforge3.
