[gdal-dev] Motion: approve use of GSP funds for work on Conda build infrastructure

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

Happy New Year to everyone!

PSC,

GDAL depends on conda-forge builds for a number of its continuous 
integration configurations, as well as offering builds of the master 
branch with the "gdal-master" conda channel 
(https://gdal.org/en/stable/download.html#gdal-master-conda-builds) 
which make them easily testable by users of the most common operating 
systems. We have identified a couple of points in the conda-forge 
infrastructure that are causing inconveniences to maintainers of the 
GDAL build recipe (and that also apply to other software package with 
similar complexity), in particular related to sub-package dependency 
pinning, and got a quote from Quansight to address them.

Motion: approve the use of up to 15,000 USD by Quansight for work on 
Conda build infrastructure, funded through the GDAL Sponsorhip program.

Starting with my +1,

Even
