Mambaforge deprecated in favor of miniforge #524

Closed scottyhq closed 6 months ago

scottyhq commented 6 months ago

Describe the bug

The base image uses a now deprecated mambaforge installer https://github.com/pangeo-data/pangeo-docker-images/blob/980f0ff9192949a93ee6d703ce7cfd5bff48da2a/base-image/Dockerfile#L69-L70

from the readme (https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge):

Mambaforge (Discouraged as of September 2023)
With the [release](https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/tag/23.3.1-0) of Miniforge3-23.3.1-0, that incorporated the changes in https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/pull/277, the packages and configuration of Mambaforge and Miniforge3 are now identical. The only difference between the two is the name of the installer and, subsequently, the default installation directory.

Given its wide usage, there are no plans to deprecate Mambaforge. If at some point we decide to deprecate Mambaforge, it will be appropriately announced and communicated with sufficient time in advance.

As of September 2023, the new usage of Mambaforge is thus discouraged. Bug reports specific to Mambaforge will be closed as won't fix.

Should be an easy fix to just swap the installer name!
