Deploying rubin-env 0.3.1

On Wednesday, 2021-02-03, we updated our build infrastructure to use version 0.3.1 of the rubin-env conda-forge metapackage. The w_2021_06 weekly will be the first tagged release to incorporate this change.

This new environment will include the dustmaps package that was requested in RFC-752.

In addition, several packages that are linked to from C++ have been pinned at the major version level (or, in the case of numpy, at the minor version level) to ensure binary compatibility.

While rubin-env 0.3.1 should be compatible with the same versions of the Science Pipelines as 0.2.1, if you need older versions of the environment to build older versions of the Science Pipelines, you can install them using the current tooling as follows.

  • For newinstall.sh:
    LSST_SPLENV_REF=0.2.1 bash newinstall.sh
    Note that you do not need to use an older version of newinstall.sh itself.
    You can then follow this with:
    export LSST_CONDA_ENV_NAME=lsst-scipipe-0.2.1 to select that environment rather than the new default lsst-scipipe-0.3.1 prior to executing source loadLSST.bash
  • For lsstsw :
    bin/deploy -v 0.2.1; source bin/envconfig -n lsst-scipipe-0.2.1
