From previous meeting(s)

(IF) Python 3.10
- conda issue - https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/10969
- How to allow older conda users to fail?
  1. Let them find out
  2. Add a __conda virtual package and let python=3.10 package depend on __conda>=4.10.3
  3. symbolic link lib/python3.1 -> lib/python3.10
- TODO New python build that does the symlink (option #3 above)
- Py3.10-related fixes will be rolled into next conda minor release
(CJ via MRB) more reproducible builds?
- CJ: thinks its pretty close
- motivated by this blog post: https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2021/09/whats-in-a-package/
- embed azure build log into the package
- embed which build system
- git hash of feedstock?
- turn off force push to feedstocks
- need a way to force the build/host/test envs to be the same
- (IF): see https://github.com/conda/conda-build/issues/2140
- Possible TODOs
  - store source for builds somewhere
  - store logs for builds somewhere, possibly keyed on package name?
    - And parts of the info.json -- sometimes we have the same filename for different builds
  - store conda-locks of the build/host/test environments
- Notes
  - transparency vs repeatability vs reproducibility
  - Provenance != reproducibility
  - (Eric) transparency+repeatability > reproducibility
