Add conda-verify to CI images

[jakirkham]

This adds conda-verify to our CI images to resolve a warning about it being missing.

[jakirkham]

Think we should wait until 25.02 is out

Canceling CI for now and marking do not merge

We can revisit after the release

[jameslamb]

Agree with you on not doing this in 25.02.

I have a question in the interim... is installing conda-verify in the base environment enough? I thought from rapidsai/rapids-metadata#43 (comment) that it had to be in the host environment, and that conda-build creates that at build time.

[jakirkham]

Yes conda-verify needs to be installed next to conda-build to be importable

conda-build is in the base environment. We make that explicit here (boa pulled it in before)

[vyasr]

Is this worth doing in light of rapidsai/build-planning#47? If we migrate everything to rattler-build it's not going to use conda-verify anyway, at which point we might as well remove it to debloat the image no?

[jakirkham]

Which issue/PR is that referencing?

When I click the links it takes me to a 2yr old PR on this repo entitled "WIP: native docker builds". Am guessing that something else was meant or I'm missing context

In any event this came up because conda-verify was coming up in the warnings of a project. So this is an attempt to properly resolve those warnings

I think having the explicit install of conda-build from this PR should go in regardless. We should work to drop boa given it is deprecated and pinning important dependencies to older versions

As to conda-verify, am neutral. It gets rid of a warning and if it doesn't cause problems great. Otherwise it could be skipped

[vyasr]

Whoops sorry forgot that we were in a different repo, I meant rapidsai/build-planning#47. IOW this feels superfluous given the impending switch to rattler-build.

[jakirkham]

I'll wait to make that determination until we have more light on this question: rapidsai/rapids-metadata#43

[jakirkham]

Following more discussion in the aforementioned issue, we have concluded we can drop conda-verify throughout RAPIDS

This is tracked in issue: rapidsai/build-planning#150

Going to close as won't fix
