Get your hands on stickers from @baszalmstra and @rarts_ruby at #ROSCon! Plus, catch a sneak peek of our latest development work!

While I was at @pydataparis.bsky.social , I did not spend much time on @conda-forge.org, but in that week, at least some important milestones happened for the Python 3.14 migration, e.g. unblocking everything that depends on pandas. More details can be found in my report: uwekorn.com/2025/10/16/w...

In our little deep dive series we're now exploring how cross-compilation in the Conda ecosystem works: prefix.dev/blog/cross-c.... Back in the days, @conda-forge.org rolled this out widely to support osx-arm64 early on, and now for linux-aarch64/ppc64le.

We're launching our new identity today! Do you like it? Read all about it: prefix.dev/blog/new-lo...

The amazing @catppuccintheme has chosen the magic wand as the icon for a Pixi manifest. Should we make it the official Pixi logo? Don't worry, Paxton (our mascot) will stay!

Interested in how Pixi will enhance the lives of ROS developers? Join our talk at #ROSCon2025! Or come visit @rarts_ruby and @baszalmstra at the Startup Alley! #ROSCON #Robotics @OpenRoboticsOrg

Pixi Global is known as a tool to manage CLI applications, but did you know that you can also install shell completions and even graphical user interfaces with it? Learn more by reading Lucas' and Julian's blog post: prefix.dev/blog/using-...

Ever wondered where all my GitHub contributions come from? I have document a week's worth of @conda-forge.org contributions: uwekorn.com/2025/09/18/w... I plan to do this for 2-3 more weeks to get an overview where I spent my time. I hope there is also content in there that helps others.

Our server has recently delivered more than 1.000.000 packages for the first time. We've hit that mark a few more times since. Seeing this constant growth is fascinating and we are confident that our infrastructure will scale well beyond this number!

It's always a pleasure to get invoices from Azure. Why? Because it means our @condaforge.org sponsorship is being used! We have been sponsoring a big Windows machine through CirunHQ for the past year to build PyTorch, libmagma, and other hard-to-build software for Windows.

We're continuing our little deep dive series into Conda packaging. Mutex packages are useful to guide the SAT solver into specific parts of the dependency tree, and globally select either a GPU or CPU variant or similar features for an environment. prefix.dev/blog/what-a...

Package building with Pixi is being rolled out! Dive into our latest blog post on crafting C++ packages. And guess what? It’s not just for C++; Pixi plays nice with Python, Rust, ROS, Mojo, and beyond! prefix.dev/blog/pixi-b...

🔒 We're dogfooding sigstore attestations for our nightly releases of build backends. Really nice to see it in action! We will blog more about pixi-build and pixi-build-cmake soon.

Today we're unveiling new Software Supply Chain features for the Conda ecosystem: the integration of Sigstore is in public beta on prefix! You can now create Sigstore attestations on Github Actions and cryptographically secure your supply chain with trusted publishing.

Dive into our SciPy 2025 talk on Pixi Build now! Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uey...

Exciting news! Pixi just hit 5k stars on GitHub! 🌟 Big thanks to all our incredible contributors for making Pixi better every day! github.com/prefix-dev/... #stars #github #packagemanagement #softwareengineering

The FreeCAD project has pioneered the use of Conda packages to build AppImages, DMGs and Windows executables. Recently they made the switch to Pixi with great success. Read more in the guest blog post by Jackson Oursland: prefix.dev/blog/how-fr...

Another deep dive in the technology behind Conda package managers: file linking! Did you know that there are symlinks, hardlinks and reflinks? Reflinks are the best – copy on write is space efficient and isolates the cache. Learn more: prefix.dev/blog/what-l...

Sneak peek of the content of the presentation we'll give tomorrow @SciPyConf We'll tell you about Game Changing features that are starting to be released in Pixi. Join us in the Ballroom at 15:00 cfp.scipy.org/scipy2025/t...

The documentation of @conda-forge.org is improving with example recipes for Go and Rust packages – providing useful starting points to get MORE packages into our ecosystem!

“Raise your hand if you were able to install everything with pixi and run the simulation-based inference tutorial notebook.” github.com/cranmer/sbi-...

I'm really looking forward to getting to teach this tutorial with @ruben-arts.bsky.social and John next week at #SciPy2025! This has been fun to collaborate with them on to create. I hope tutorial participants enjoy it and come away feeling they have a whole new toolkit to empower themselves with!

Making it this easy to run complex robot simulations took >4 years. But the investment into Pixi and @RoboStack pays off - now you can start the new @GazeboSim / Turtlesim on macOS with a simple `pixi run start`. 🚀 #ROS #ROS2 #Gazebo @OpenRoboticsOrg

Ever wondered how Conda and Pixi "know" to install CUDA packages only on GPU machines? 🤔 Meet virtual packages - a clever solution to inject system compatibility information to the SAT solver to ensure compatibility. prefix.dev/blog/virtua...

Interested in Software Supply Chain Security? We are! That's why we helped to get `cosign` on conda-forge: `cosign` can be used to sign container images or other artifacts with `sigstore`, and you can now easily install it with `pixi global install cosign` 🎉

🧠 SciPy 2025 is less than a month away! Make sure to check out the exciting week-long schedule filled with two days of 4-hour-long tutorials, three days of talks and keynote discussions, and two days of sprints! Take a look: www.scipy2025.scipy.org/schedule

How do you make compiled software with hardcoded paths work anywhere? 255-character placeholders, $ORIGIN rpaths, and platform-specific binary patching. We explain how Conda packages achieve relocatability: prefix.dev/blog/what-i...

Thanks to a big internal Pixi refactor to support recursive source dependencies, we have much improved snapshot tests. Now we can observe all the actions Pixi takes to resolve, instantiate and build packages from source:

You might have already heard that Pixi is written in Rust, but did you know that Pixi is also useful when creating Rust programs? Watch Julian's talk "Pixi: the missing companion to cargo" to find out more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hso...

It all "just worked" from 1 command ... yes, that is the point!

Learning something new everyday by building cross-platform tools. The @condaforge m2-git behaved a bit weird when asking for `ref^{commit}` to get the latest commit. It's because MSYS does some glob-expansion and strips `{` and `}` when not using `set MSYS=noglob`...

These days you can easily use S3 buckets to host your Conda packages. @quantcotech folks have implemented support across pixi, rattler and rattler-build. We're excited because we want Conda packages to be used everywhere without vendor lock-in! prefix.dev/blog/s3-sup...

Amazing blog post about using Pixi for ROS 2 on Windows. We're happy about the shoutout – that's the kind of complex setup that we want to make extremely easy with Pixi.

New release on @npmjs - the rattler WASM/JS bindings are now published under "@conda-org/rattler". Why would you want Conda packages in the browser? – to install WASM modules for Python, R, Lua, C/C++ and more, or build your own WASM powered applications. www.npmjs.com/package/@co...

🌟 Spotlight on @julianhofer.eu! marimo + pixi: launch your notebooks in seconds. This starter template pairs marimo with pixi for instant env setup, built‑in testing, linting & CI/CD — so you can dive straight into interactive notebooks. Repo: github.com/Hofer-Julia...

We recently celebrated 10 years of @condaforge on our Zulip. I'd love to hear your story if you are involved with conda-forge. The project has grown to over 30'000 packages, and still grows at a crazy rate.

One of the fastest JIT in the world is now easy to install with `pixi` on Windows. If you always wanted to try LuaJIT then you can just `pixi add luajit` – on Windows, macOS and Linux.
