conda-forge discussions/questions + setuptools recipe

[Floris Bruynooghe]

Hi,

Where's the appropriate place to ask questions about and discuss conda-forge?

And I'll include the question right away as well since it not strictly
conda-forge only: I'm trying to build a new version of setuptools but
am failing because conda automatically installs pip, which pulls in an
earlier version of setuptools itself and then conda-build doesn't
include the correct files.

So I went looking at how the setuptools-feedstock recipe from
conda-forge solves this, but can't figure it out. When I use
conda-forge packages to build the recipe local, it fails in the same
way as I explain above. However looking at the build-log on travis it
seems setuptools does *not* get installed into the build environment
there. How does that happen?

And secondly I'm confused by the conda-forge CI jobs, it seems travis
only runs OSX builds, but packages for linux64 are on the channel
anyway. What am I missing in the conda-forge setup for this?

Thanks,
Floris

the conda-forge gitHub organization, via issues on repos, and the conda-forge mailing list:

conda...@googlegroups.com

is this a released version? if so, I"d wait for conda-forge, or post a PR to the coda forge feedstock for the upgrade.

I'd post an issue with the question to the repo. 

If you simply pull the recipe and built it on your machine, it doesn't work?

travis does OS-X, Circle-CI does Linux, and Appveyor does Windows.

(I think....)
