New Release - Bob - 6.0.0

Nightlies are green;

https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.nightlies/pipelines

Shall we consider a new release?

I'm ok.

It would be a good idea to fix/merge some stuff first:

• docs#6 (closed)
• docs#7 (closed)
• docs!10 (merged)
• #254 (closed) (Amir)
• https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.conda/issues/61 (Amir) (Should be closed/tested after Bob release)
• Green nightlies https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.nightlies

we are blocked by docs#7 (closed) as well.

Hi @bob,

So many things changed in our base software stack and we can't release new software anymore. WE NEED A NEW bob RELEASE.

I just updated the list of tasks that need to be done in order to start a new release.

Anyone willing to help ?

Thanks

I can help fix #254 (closed) and https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.conda/issues/61

We are almost there with the green nightlies

Only the Mac builds are failing

The mac problem is related to missing settings on the test section of the bob/bob package.

To fix this, you'll need to set export CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT={{ CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT }} # [osx] as is done on bob/bob.extension. This should solve the issues.

Didn't work :-(

Any insights for this one? https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob/-/jobs/164736

Shall I explicitly do export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9 # [osx] in the meta.yaml ?

Thanks

Try replacing the setting for CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT with MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET={{ MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET }}. See if that works any better. Try locally first.

@amohammadi: do you understand why that is correctly set for bob/bob.extension tests, but not for bob/bob tests?

These tests are skipped in bob.extension because of circular dependency on bob.blitz

Ah, OK. That makes sense and I now also remember that the conda_build_config.yaml variables are not set during test time. So, we will have to copy them during the build. Just include 3 lines on the test:

- export SDKROOT={{ SDKROOT }}  # [osx]
- export CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT={{ CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT }}  # [osx]
- export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET={{ MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET }}  # [osx]

That should fix the test.

Maybe you quote what comes after the = sign:

- export SDKROOT="{{ SDKROOT }}"  # [osx]
- export CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT="{{ CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT }}"  # [osx]
- export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET="{{ MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET }}"  # [osx]

Looks wiser.

I will do as we do with bob.extension and exclude the tests.extension

https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.extension/blob/master/conda/meta.yaml#L44

Please don't do that @tiago.pereira . We cannot run these tests in bob.extension and if we don't test them here, things which are important are going to break without us knowing.

Ok, do you have any idea on how to fix this without disabling the test cases?

thanks

Can you reproduce this problem locally - should be easy just to run one test at your machine.

I can reproduce it. I will try to isolate the problem.

mentioned in merge request bob.devtools!57 (merged)

Still with issues. For some reason the environment variables are not exported as it was supposed to be with bob.devtools@7aee680b

https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob/-/jobs/165129

Still f****d https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.nightlies/-/jobs/165132/raw

I know we can set these variables via .bobrc Is there a way to set a .bobrc via ci?
