How to update gradsflow on conda-forge, once a new PyPI version is released?

What are the steps to update gradsflow on conda-forge once a new version on PyPI is released?

Process to raise a PR for conda-forge package update

• Step-1: Go to: https://github.com/conda-forge/gradsflow-feedstock
• Step-2: Fork it. Create a new branch (for example: update_v1.2.3 to update some library to it's version 1.2.3).
• Step-3: Update the recipe/meta.yaml.
  • Update the jinja2 variable: version (same as PyPI)
  • Update the field: sha256 (should be same as PyPI source, <package>.tar.gz file)
  • If changing the version, DON'T UPDATE the build number.
  • If making a change to the recipe, without any version update, increase the build number by 1.
  • Update the dependencies under run-requirements (these are the ones you typically include in setup.py/ requirements.txt).
    • add newer dependencies (they must exist on conda-forge channel, if not speak with me)
    • update version specification for each dependency
    • use the more classical >, =, < for defining version constraints instead of ^, ~.
    • drop dependencies that are no longer included in your setup.py
    • NOTE: optional dependencies should be dropped here, so users can install them only if they need them. Ideally, such optional dependencies should be made part of extras under setup.py.
• Step-4: Submit a PR (follow the instructions while opening the PR).
• Step-5: Review
  • If all CI's have passed (pytorch is not available on conda-forge for windows, so, typically the windows CI run will fail, and that is okay), then we move to merging.
  • A maintainer will review and once all looks good will merge it.

    @aniketmaurya Please let me review your feedstock PRs a couple of times initially, to help you ease into the process.

• Step-6: Once merged, the new package will be available on the channel in 2-3 hours.

thank you @sugatoray for the detailed documentation 🙏🏻

In most cases, given your dependencies haven't changed, all you would need to change is version and sha256.
