We are changing the way we mark packages as broken to better match the defaults channel and to
better enable reproducible environments that depended on broken packages. We will now be adding the
broken label to packages but leaving them on the main channel. In order to make sure they do
not appear in the repodata.json for the main channel, we will be patching the repo data to
remove them using the removals feature. Users will notice the following changes
- The packages on
anaconda.orgwill now have both themainand thebrokenlabels. - All requests to mark packages as broken must be sent to the
cf-mark-brokenrepo. - Members of
corecan no longer mark things as broken by hand since the repo data patching must be done as well. - The package metadata for broken packages may differ slightly from when they were on the
mainchannel. - The only correct source of package metadata is now the
repodata.jsonetc onanaconda.org. Any other sources may be missing critical changes.
