Rename package to conda-server?

[janjagusch]

Comment:

The CF automation doesn't work because the PyPI package is called differently from the CF package (quetz-server vs. quetz). This is inconvenient.

One solution would be to rename the feedstock to quetz-server. As this might break the installation workflow for many users, it might make sense to distribute the CF under both names for a while and issue a deprecation warning when people install quetz.

@wolfv, do you have a better solution for this?

We should ask the bot team if there is a solution in this case. Not a fan of changing the name and using conda-* might be tricky.

@wolfv, I looked into this again, as the automatic version update to v0.6.3 also failed.

We should ask the bot team if there is a solution in this case.

I don't think this is going to be that easy, unfortunately.

• The autotick-bot tries to create a new recipe file by invoking grayskull and retrieving the metadata from PyPI.
• The problem is that it uses the name field in the recipe metadata (quetz) to invoke grayskull, which points to the wrong package.
• Grayskull will then return a generic HTTPError, because the version for that package can't be found.

You can find a failed autotick-bot run here. I will also dump the traceback here, in case the logs get lost:

I believe we have three options:

• Rename the feedstock to quetz-server.
• Ask the owners of https://pypi.org/project/quetz to take over the namespace.
• Build our own alternative to the auto-tick bot.
