Automate retemplating and template updates #19

Closed wtbarnes closed 4 months ago

wtbarnes commented 3 years ago

As the number of packages in the sunpy ecosystem, both affiliated and sponsored, grows, the burden of maintaining the infrastructure behind all of these packages grows. This is mainly relevant to propagating changes in the package template downstream to those packages that use it. Rather than placing the burden of doing this on the maintainers of the template or the project maintainers, it would be nice to automate this in some way. For example, every time the package template is updated or "released," a bot could open a PR on every sponsored package updating the relevant bits.

There are probably more bits here that I'm missing.

This is in theory closed by OpenAstronomy/packaging-guide#45 but we haven't actually tested it in the wild yet.
