admin requests

This repo is for making requests to conda-forge/core for various administrative tasks.

Mark packages as broken on conda-forge

If you want to mark a package as broken on conda-forge, send a Pull Request adding a new .txt file in broken/ with a list of the full names of the packages to which the broken label will be added. See broken/example.txt for an example.

Guidelines for marking packages as broken:

• We prefer to patch the repo data (see here) instead of marking packages as broken. This alternative workflow makes environments more reproducible.
• Packages with requirements/metadata that are too strict but otherwise work are not technically broken and should not be marked as such.
• Packages with missing metadata can be marked as broken on a temporary basis but should be patched in the repo data and be marked unbroken later.
• In some cases where the number of users of a package is small or it is used by the maintainers only, we can allow packages to be marked broken more liberally.
• We (conda-forge/core) try to make a decision on these requests within 24 hours.

Mark packages as not broken on conda-forge

If you want to remove the broken label from packages on conda-forge, send a Pull Request adding a new .txt file in not_broken/ with a list of the full names of the packages for which the label broken will be removed. See not_broken/example.txt for an example.

Reset your Feedstock Token

If you want to reset your feedstock token to fix issues with uploads, place the name of your feedstock in a new .txt file in token_reset/. See token_reset/example.txt for an example. You should use the name without -feedstock (e.g., for python-feedstock, you put in just python).
