By the power of Grayskull... I have the Conda recipe!

The main goal of the Skeletonr is to conquer Grayskull.

Introduction

All jokes aside, the new project grayskull was created with the intention of generating better Conda recipes that would allow to package properly projects available in different channels such as PyPI, CRAN, Conan, GitHub register, GitHub repositories and so on. On top of that, Grayskull is also being developed to help conda-forge to update recipes.

Google Summer of Code 2020 improved automatic maintenance of conda-forge

The conda-forge "autotick" bot is a crucial part of conda-forge's infrastructure. It enables automatic maintenance of conda-forge packages by pushing version updates to the underlying software and enabling large migrations of packages from one dependency to another (e.g., Python 3.7 to Python 3.8). As conda-forge grows in size, with over 9,000 packages to date, automatic maintenance of the conda-forge ecosystem will become even more important.

Automatically Deployed ABI Migrations

Handling application binary interface (ABI) migrations has always been a hassle for Conda-Forge. Maintaining ABI consistency helps enable the "just use conda-forge" experience for many of our users, making certain that numpy's blas is the same as scipy's. As libraries update their code, the new versions may be ABI incompatible, as function signatures and other symbols may have changed, leading to the dreaded SegmentationFault and other errors.
