Our System Admin team wants to uninstall the anaconda installation under /usr/local/anaconda3 from opera-pge-ci since it is difficult to maintain and patch. Several of our Jenkins pipelines currently utilize this installation to create a temporary environment for installing certain dependencies to (such as Sphinx).
To comply with this, we need to rework our existing Jenkinsfiles to perform a temporary installation of miniconda before creating the temporary conda environment. This should include the build-int-test and build-test-deploy Jenkinsfiles.
After performing the installation, the remaining steps to create a temporary environment should remain mostly the same, but the location to the conda CLI will need to reflect the miniconda installation location.
The cleanup stage for the pipelines will also need to be updated to remove the directory containing the temporary miniconda installation. This should be sufficient as an "uninstall" step.
