Hi there. Why is it that the versions of the conda package metomi-isodatetime contain a ‘!’ in them? All of a sudden I am experiencing issue with our nexus conda-forge repository proxy which is unable to find these packages. I will file a bug report with them, but I am curious on why the strange versioning.
Cheers and thanx
Gaby
Hi,
The ! character indicates a version “epoch”, more info in the PEP440 standard: PEP 440 – Version Identification and Dependency Specification | peps.python.org
I haven’t used Nexus before, is the error in Nexus or the Conda client?
Thanx Oliver. Good question. I removed the package from Nexus, and cleaned all the caches I could think of and tried it from my Mac. It worked without error, but it I cannot see it in on Nexus using the web UI, though I have verified that the proxying works with another package. It fails on a linux box with a slightly older version of conda. OTOH, I just upgraded Nexus, and historically all headaches I’ve had with it are due to upgrades (even the minor ones).
I will keep digging.
