Comments
Perhaps this provides additional context on the issues encountered there |
Thanks @jakirkham . I was super surprised this morning to learn from a colleague trying to update our Windows server that conda-forge's version is so out of date. I wonder if anyone is going to return to it---the version is now two minor versions behind, and heading into one year! |
As noted in the linked issue, the ask involves modernizing Windows toolchain. This is a non-trivial effort. That said, help would definitely be welcome. Though completely understand if that's not something you want to commit to |
I'm not a "real" programmer. I don't think I would have any idea how to do that. However, and this may already exist, if there were a clear statement of the problem, that would be a great starting point. Maybe some folks would pitch in and create a bounty on upwork.com, freelancer.com, etc. Is there already a document like:

See conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io#1654 & conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io#1044. It's a very tricky problem, but people are looking at it (got discussed in the most recent core meeting, see minutes). |
Yeah sorry it has been a very busy week. Was meaning to update this thread after the core meeting. As mentioned, this is a tricky problem. Though I really appreciate your patience and thoughtfulness (especially given this was not obvious from the surface) Anyways raised it with the core team this week to see how we might best move this forward. We essentially discussed what funding options we might have, whether we had any one interested in doing this work, what the scope might be, etc. The good news is it looks like Anaconda is also interested in a path forward on these issues That said, no idea on timeline at this point, since we are still trying to figure out some of the basics, which would determine that |
Any updates? 😃 |
@jakirkham did these discussions progress any further? I help support a small team who contributes to R support for ArcGIS, and we'd love to see more modern R versions available via conda-forge. If there are resources needed, I can bring this up with the team if they are identified. I imagine that the number of people with the specific intersection of skills for the UCRT work is small making this particularly challenging. |
I'll add list of things to do to the top comment at conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io#1654. |
Curious how this is progressing as well? Thanks! |
R 4.3 builds are there |
Thanks Isuru! 🙏 Truly impressive work getting this shipped! 🥳 |
Comment:
Linux an osx are up-to-date with v4.3. Is there a problem with updating the Windows version at this time?
