Description
conda update --all
is known to be unstable. It is not guaranteed that all packages updated will properly work together even though they may pass the conda dependency checks.Such was the case with ctypes on WindowsCondaRecipe.
The update conda step now properly does as stated, and follows the convention in CondaEnv CI testing.
NOTE: tests that were introduced in #2452 caused timeouts in this CI job, and must be disabled temporarily.
performance benchmarks unnecessary.
PR should start as a draft, then move to ready for review state after CI is passed and all applicable checkboxes are closed.
This approach ensures that reviewers don't spend extra time asking for regular requirements.
You can remove a checkbox as not applicable only if it doesn't relate to this PR in any way.
For example, PR with docs update doesn't require checkboxes for performance while PR with any change in actual code should have checkboxes and justify how this code change is expected to affect performance (or justification should be self-evident).
