Create rc label and remove pre-release package from main #47

Closed jeromekelleher closed 3 years ago

Hi @conda-forge/core!

I tried to create a pre-release package for this feedstock following the advice here. I created the rc branch and updated the recipe (and added recipe/conda_build_config.yaml file) in PRs #44 and #45. (Unfortunately I got the name of the conda_build_config yaml file wrong in #44 and had to correct it in #45)

The packages build successfully, so I merged the PRs. However, the msprime_rc label I was expecting is not present on anaconda.org, and the 1.0.0a6 packages are now in the main label. I've tried out some installs, and sometimes conda installs the stable 0.7.4 and other times the pre-release 1.0.0a6.

This is unfortunate because I hadn't intended for users to install the pre-release yet, and was making the conda package to unblock some downstream development, depending on the new version, and we need to have conda packages for CI.

It would be very, very helpful if you could make the msprime_rc label, and move all the *1.0.0* packages to this label. If that's not possible, then it would be very helpful if we could move the *1.0.0* packages to broken so that users aren't unknowingly installing pre-releases.

Any pointers on what I did wrong would be much appreciated, if it's obvious.

Thanks for all the hard work, and apologies for adding more to your pile!

I moved them to the rc label. See https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/msprime/files?version=1.0.0a6&channel=msprime_rc

PS: moving to broken is also an option and that one would not require a member of core. We can do those now with a PR to adim requests. See https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer/updating_pkgs.html?#removing-broken-packages for more info.

Thanks for the info too, great to know we can move to broken ourselves too.
