Package Updates#
Generally, we do not pin package versions in our Dockerfile
s.
Dependency resolution is a difficult thing to do.
All this means that packages might have old versions.
Images are rebuilt weekly, so usually, packages receive updates quite frequently.
Note
We pin major.minor version of python, so this will stay the same even after invoking the mamba update
command.
Outdated packages#
To help to identify packages that can be updated, you can use the following helper tool.
It will list all the outdated packages installed in the Dockerfile
–
dependencies are filtered to focus only on requested packages.
make check-outdated/base-notebook
