Conda package is out-of-date and failing to build

[Zeitsperre]

Hey there,

The conda package of spotpy is in need of some TLC. The last version available is v1.6.2 (February 2023). Conda autobuild was set to automate releases, but as dependencies have changed over time, conda builds have failed:

• [bot-automerge] spotpy v1.6.4 conda-forge/spotpy-feedstock#27
• [bot-automerge] spotpy v1.6.6 conda-forge/spotpy-feedstock#28
• [bot-automerge] spotpy v1.6.7 conda-forge/spotpy-feedstock#29

There's also an issue with the recipe, as it is missing setuptools-scm to ensure that pip can properly read the version string:

• Spotpy missing version string in conda conda-forge/spotpy-feedstock#30

I would be willing to take on the maintenance role there, as I require spotpy for my organization's software stack. If that's of interest to you, feel free to open an issue on the conda feedtsock with the following title:

@conda-forge-admin, please add user @Zeitsperre

Thanks and all the best!

Hi @Zeitsperre
thank you very much for your message and your support for the spotpy package. Indeed, it seems some maintenance is needed. I would be super happy to have your support here!
Is it maybe possible that we have to update some things in the pyproject file, or is it really needed to go through the conda-forge-admin support?

Hey @thouska, the command I posted triggers a bot helper and creates a Pull Request that adds me to the feedstock, so no humans are being pinged. The process is entirely automated!

Hey @Zeitsperre
gotcha, I posted the bot helper command here. I hope this was correct? Let me know if I can assist you in any way. And thanks already a lot for looking into this issue!
