Testing against nightly wheels will help identify when changes to the main branch + of the widely-used projects break downstream projects. +2. By using the nightly wheels projects will not have to build packages from source, + which can be difficult and time consumming. + +## Implementation + + + +We recommend that projects add a cron job to test against the nightly wheels and +when errors are encountered to automatically open an issue in their project so they +can investigate. + +The nightly wheels for conda can be found [here](https://anaconda.org/scientific-python-nightly-wheels/). + +We have a GitHub action to upload new nightly wheels and remove old ones: +https://github.com/scientific-python/nightly-wheels + +### Core Project Endorsement + + + +### Ecosystem Adoption + + + +## Notes + +
