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.

What will happen when a package is marked broken?

  • Our bots will add the broken label to the package. The main label will remain on the package and this is normal.
  • Our bots will rebuild our repodata patches to remove this package from the repodata.
  • In a few hours after the anaconda.org CDN picks up the new patches, you will no longer be able to install the package from the main channel.

Checklist:

  • Make sure your package is in the right spot (broken/* for adding the
    broken label, not_broken/* for removing the broken label, or token_reset/*
    for token resets)
  • Added a description of the problem with the package in the PR description.
  • Added links to any relevant issues/PRs in the PR description.
  • Pinged the team for the package for their input.
