Drop `certifi` #2

Closed jakirkham closed 8 years ago

jakirkham commented 8 years ago

TL;DR: curl depends on openssl, which pulls in the certs we need from ca-certificates. certifi is not used for this.

Originally, we had planned to use certifi to get certs. However, certifi is a Python package and as such puts these in site-packages, which is something we not only don't want or need, but it makes it more difficult to properly configure things. Subsequently, we created ca-certificates, which simply takes the certs included in certifi and moves them to the right location. In the long term, ca-certificates may be constructed in different ways, but will always provide these certs. We decided to make this a run time dependency of openssl. So, anything using openssl will automatically get certs. As we did make the certs a separate package and we did not pin them in openssl, updating the certs in ca-certificates will get picked up by conda update --all.

Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe) and found it was in an excellent condition.

As long as CI passes (should be fine), this is ok to merge whenever. This is just some holdover cruft from staged-recipes.

Running with this as it is again just cruft that should have already been cleared.
