Prepare for Bob's next release (update your conda)

[Amir Mohammadi]

Dear users,

The upcoming release of Bob will only work with conda 4.4 and above.

Please take this opportunity to upgrade your conda installations:
https://www.anaconda.com/blog/developer-blog/how-to-get-ready-for-the-release-of-conda-4-4/

This upgrade will not break your current conda installation. The upgrade only changes the way you activate the conda environments.

If you do not have conda installed or do not know what conda is, visit their website instead: https://conda.io/docs/

Best,

Amir

This one is also a nice read if you want to become more advanced with conda:

CondaHTTPError: HTTP 404 NOT FOUND for url <https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/conda/label/stable/noarch/repodata.json>

Elapsed: 00:00.142174

The remote server could not find the noarch directory for the

requested channel with url: https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/conda/label/stable

As of conda 4.3, a valid channel must contain a `noarch/repodata.json` and

associated `noarch/repodata.json.bz2` file, even if `noarch/repodata.json` is

empty. please request that the channel administrator create

`noarch/repodata.json` and associated `noarch/repodata.json.bz2` files.

$ mkdir noarch

$ echo '{}' > noarch/repodata.json

$ bzip2 -k noarch/repodata.json

You will need to adjust your conda configuration to proceed.

Use `conda config --show channels` to view your configuration's current state.

Further configuration help can be found at <https://conda.io/docs/config.html>.

A reportable application error has occurred. Conda has prepared the above report.

If submitted, this report will be used by core maintainers to improve

future releases of conda.

Would you like conda to send this report to the core maintainers?

[y/N]: n

No report sent. To permanently opt-out, use

    $ conda config --set report_errors false

At the end, nothing was installed.

This looks like you did not provide the required files for conda on the Idiap server yet. Could you please check that?

Manuel,

You may remove this from the list (it's deprecated): https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/conda/label/stable

The production channel should be only this one: https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/conda

Cheers, A
