Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe) and found it was in an excellent condition.

@mkitti, they have weird hard-wiring in the checksums? i am not sure how best to handle this...

@mkitti, this should be good to go. Review and merge pls

@mkitti I have a question: After updating my conda env to this one; it all went well except in the "executing" part of updating it took forever. Then I forced it to stop (ctrl+c) and then it printed that it was recompiling the the julia project inside the conda env. Is that because we updated the Downloads.jl part or is this odd behavior?

I then started a new env (conda create -n julia_test julia) and everything was smooth and quick. So I guess it was the Downloads.jl update? Is it supposed to recompile/redownload everything?

[mkitti]

Did you have a lot of packages to compile in the environment that you updated? What did you update from? Were you changing minor versions?

When you add a new package, Julia will attempt to precompile the environment so that packages load faster later. It sounds like it was slilently doing this. Is something suppressing the output?

[mkitti]

What is the "executing" part?

What is the "executing" part?

Whenever you install/update a new package, you would get something like this at the end, see the "Executing transaction:"

Finished julia                                (00m:18s)             105 MB      5 MB/s
Downloading  [==================================================================] (00m:32s)    7.34 MB/s
Extracting   [==================================================================] (00m:32s)      15 / 15
Preparing transaction: done

Executing transaction:

Yes, that would be my guess too. It wasn't suppressed per se. Sometimes this part hangs and would appear later.

Did you have a lot of packages to compile in the environment that you updated? What did you update from? Were you changing minor versions?

I don't know what I had, but I think I was testing random things in it, so most likely I had a lot of random packages. I updated from an earlier 1.7.1 (_0) to the latest one 1.7.1 (_3).

---

My guess is that it is to do with Downloads.jl upgrade/change. Otherwise, this usually doesn't happen. For example, when I updated from 1.7.1 (_3) to 1.8.0 dev, it didn't pre/re compile things. I guess it would be interested to try it again by downgrading and see how that goes? I will try that now.

I will try that now

ugh... I can't really... we have a lot of broken stuff...
