Enable (resp. support) conda-build 3.26

[h-vetinari]

Conda-build 3.26 has a couple relevant fixes, but is currently suppressed by this feedstock

boa-feedstock/recipe/meta.yaml

Line 26 in 0dfeb48

- conda-build >=3.24,<3.26

which still causes conda-build 3.25 to be pulled in, in the context of a vanilla usage of the ci setup.

This might need to be dealt with first: mamba-org/mamba#2715

[h-vetinari]

So I just wanted to open a PR to bump the mamba version cap here, but I saw the following comment in #73:

@wolfv: I am sorry, I can't merge this because of a bug in mamba. I'll update the range once we've been able to test in the boa repository

There's no (easily found) metadata in the boa repo to indicate these bounds, but I then found mamba-org/boa#351 and thus #72:

@wolfv: Unfortunately this was on purpose since mamba 1.4.4 has a bug with the topological sorting. Should be fixed with 1.4.5 (released today).

So I'm not sure if I should open a PR (with mamba >=1.4.5,<1.6; or perhaps just with !=1.4.3,!=1.4.4?), or an issue in boa to test with new mamba/conda-build...

We need mamba 1.5.0 for compatibility with conda 23.7.2 so I'd say let's test if 1.5.0 works with boa and if so, use that as the lower bound for simplicity?

Added suggestion in #74

[h-vetinari]

So #74 was merged last week and then marked broken.

@jaimergp, you said there

boa 0.15.1 doesn't work with mamba 1.5.0

is that tracked anywhere? I tried following some of the links in #74, but I don't think conda/conda-build#4991 is related, and mamba-org/boa#367 hasn't seen an update since the merge.

[jaimergp]

The error is this one: conda-forge/staged-recipes#23923

That boa version does work with 1.4.2 (and maybe others?), but not with 1.5.0. I didn't have more time to investigate the breakage and I am more focused on rolling out the conda-libmamba-solver integrations.

Closing this as obsolete
