Ben Purinton developed and delivered two features for the conda-forge/staged-recipes repository, focusing on expanding data visualization capabilities and improving maintainability. He introduced a new asp-plot recipe, enabling users to plot outputs from the Ames Stereo Pipeline, and upgraded dependencies to support enhanced plotting functionality. Using Python and YAML configuration, Ben refactored the meta.yaml file to incorporate the python_min variable, aligning with conda-forge linting standards and reducing future maintenance overhead. His work emphasized robust dependency management and package versioning, resulting in a more flexible plotting experience and streamlined metadata, though no major bugs were addressed during this period.
February 2026 (2026-02) – Conda-forge/staged-recipes: Key features delivered include the addition of an asp-plot recipe to enable plotting outputs from the Ames Stereo Pipeline, with dependencies upgraded to support enhanced plotting capabilities. A version bump to 1.6.3 accompanies these changes. Maintains maintainability through a meta.yaml refactor using the python_min variable to align with conda-forge linting standards. Major bugs fixed: none reported this month; activity focused on feature delivery and maintainability improvements. Overall impact: expanded user capabilities for visual inspection of APS results within conda-forge workflows, improved plotting experience, and reduced future maintenance risk through linting-aligned metadata. Technologies/skills demonstrated: packaging and recipe creation in Conda-Forge, dependency management and versioning, YAML-based metadata and linting standards, and collaboration around plotting tooling. Commit references: Add asp-plot recipe (f4a39443069513f29312d87cb4f509f745f75612); Bump to 1.6.3 and deps (b991025ef89aa881a84b7f95b7af7c7a9e78ebe2); Use python_min var for linting (ce989df1f2f8cb79ef3c796acfab32436f13c24a).
