no documentation available for CONDA_ENV

[jugmac00]

CONDA_ENV is used to set the name for a conda virtual environment a la

    $ CONDA_ENV=conda-build make setup
    $ conda activate conda-build
    (conda-build) $ make test

The environment variable is not documented.

The only two occurrences are in

conda-build/CONTRIBUTING.md

Line 53 in cd1fa1f

$ CONDA_ENV=conda-build make setup

and
https://github.com/conda/conda/blob/0adcd595c97d0c4e3b2645aebd50ded8d771d5eb/CHANGELOG.md?plain=1#L2487

@jugmac00 looks like it's supposed to be ENV_NAME, not CONDA_ENV

conda-build/Makefile

Line 5 in cd1fa1f

ENV_NAME ?= conda-build

Thanks! This certainly explains why I only found two mentions of CONDA_ENV :-D

@kenodegard You marked this issue as "good-first-issue".

What does it take to fix this issue?

Create two PRs to change the occurrences from CONDA_ENV to ENV_NAME?

[kenodegard]

@jugmac00 It should be sufficient to only modify the CONTRIBUTING.md in conda-build, the occurrence of CONDA_ENV in conda's CHANGELOG.md is valid and refers to an older unrelated feature.
