We just made it really easy to switch from conda to pixi. You can now use the pixi init - - import environment.yml to quickly port a conda project. You automatically get a pixi.toml, lockfiles and a powerful task system.

We're looking forward to more converted recipes on tdejager.github.io/are-we-recipe-… 🚀

Low level packages such as `zlib`, `zstd` or large packages such as Pytorch are often "split" into headers, libraries and man-pages. The staging output makes it possible to build once, then split. Slice and dice the packages. Discuss it here: github.com/conda/ceps/pul…

The RFC period has started on the "staging cache" CEP for the v1 recipe format. This might sound like gibberish but is a powerful feature that will allow us to convert more (complicated!) packages on @condaforge to the V1 recipe format!

The command to try this yourself: pixi exec -s newton-all -s pytorch -s usd-exchange python -m newton.examples robot_policy

You can now install the Open-Source physics engine, Newton, with Pixi! 🤖 Getting a full humanoid robot simulator has never been easier, just run one command! Check out the original announcement: github.com/newton-physics… #robotics #NVIDIA #warp #newton

Thanks to @github and @microsoft @azure for their continued sponsorship. We can now natively compile packages on macOS Arm64 and Linux Aarch64 machines. Thank you!

We couldn't have done it without the support of many great people including Dan Yeaw and Jakov Smolić from @anacondainc who is also sponsoring this work. We are grateful to Axel Obermeier for his input in design discussions & the many people who convert feedstocks to recipe v1

We also worked on making the conda ecosystem supply-chain security aware. This is why we added experimental support for validating attestations of sources.

We improved our package builder Rattler-Build a lot over the past months, so we wrote a blog post about it! prefix.dev/blog/whats-new…

Your Github Actions will be simple, cached and fully reproducible, too.

You can install k9s, helm, terraform, linters ... every version transparently locked in a pixi.lock file - on macOS, Windows & Linux. Pixi tasks give your team consistent entry points with almost no setup time.

You thought Pixi was only for data science and Python?! Nope! Pixi is the perfect tool to manage your Kubernetes deployments, turbocharged by the github-releases channel we can offer many of the most used packages! No more curl-pipe-to-bash. Read more: prefix.dev/blog/kubernete…

A packaging ecosystem is great when it contains all the stuff you need. Here is a simple way to add binary releases made by projects on @github: prefix.dev/blog/octoconda…

Europe and China are both investing heavily in RISC-V chips. Thanks to @openKylin the @condaforge project is making progress as well. Today I ran Pixi on RISC-V for the first time. If you're investing in RISC-V infrastructure and want the package tooling to match — let's talk.
