GOAL
Debug and fix a failing rattler-build for the process-compose conda-forge feedstock on linux_aarch64, using the conda-forge skill to guide the fix.
- +0Prompt · +0rattler-build build for linux_aarch64 fails. Run it, observe the error, and fix it using the conda-forge skill.
- +0mAgent did · +0mRead the conda-forge skill doc, then ran the failing rattler-build command to capture the actual error.
- +2mAgent did · +2mInspected the build work directory and build logs, found the failure came from go-licenses being unable to classify a dependency's license.
- +2mAgent did · +2mTraced the problem to alecthomas/chroma/v2's COPYING file mixing MIT and SIL Open Font License text, which go-licenses can't classify.
- +3mAgent did · +3mSearched go-licenses docs and other conda-forge feedstocks (hugo-feedstock) for prior art on handling this exact 'unknown license' failure pattern.
- +10mAgent did · +10mEdited recipe/recipe.yaml multiple times to add --ignore for chroma/v2 in go-licenses save and manually copy its COPYING file into library_licenses, refining the approach across several passes.
- +18mAgent did · +18mCleared the previous build output and reran rattler-build with the updated recipe.
- +20mAgent did · +20mRan conda-smithy lint and rerender to confirm the feedstock config was still valid and up to date after the recipe changes.
- +26mOutcome · +26mBuild succeeded after adding an --ignore for chroma/v2 in go-licenses save and manually copying its COPYING file into the license output; lint passed and rerender completed.
VERDICT
Next time I'd start by telling the agent straight away that the failure is likely a go-licenses classification issue for a Go dependency, since that's a known conda-forge pattern. The digging through hugo-feedstock's prior commit for the --ignore + manual COPYING copy pattern is what actually fixed it, not any of the earlier log inspection. Overall it got there on its own without me needing to intervene, just took a lot of exploration to find the right precedent.
