bot autoupdating downstream to new url

[martinfleis]

While discussing the change of the home for nightlies, @bsipocz mentioned that once all core packages are uploading to a new location, there is a way to automatically open PRs downstream, changing the url from the old scipy one to the new scientific-python.

@bsipocz was there an attempt to do that? I haven't noticed it in any of the packages I'm involved with. Given the scipy repository is now outdated, it would be good to roll this out. I understood that all the necessary pieces were ready.

I may be wrong, but my understanding was that this would be done by people (maybe scripted) but not using a GitHub Actions workflow.

@martinfleis can you please link all the projects you want updated here that fit the current definitons of "core" (#30 (comment))?

My understanding was that a bot can do this and that @bsipocz knows how to deploy that bot.

but not using a GitHub Actions workflow.

Probably not by GHA. I am not sure. I may be raising the question in the wrong repo...

It is not about core packages, it is about the TEST WITH NIGHTLY WHEELS part of the SPEC 4. A lot of non-core downstream packages were already testing against nightly wheels uploaded to pypi.anaconda.org/scipy-wheels-nightly. All those need to be updated. I can update those I maintain but there is a ton of maintainers not aware of the change. The bot should've resolved that.

Okay great.

Okay. A thing to note is that the example given in SPEC 4 leaves people open to possible security issues (that should get fixed) and the pattern given in

upload-nightly-action/README.md

Lines 65 to 70 in ae43952

	python -m pip install \
	--upgrade \
	--pre \
	--index-url https://pypi.anaconda.org/scientific-python-nightly-wheels/simple \
	--extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple \
	matplotlib

(i.e. the index is scientific-python-nightly-wheels and the extra index is PyPI) should be used instead.

I'm going to close this as I think all users are now on the correct URL, but please comment if this isn't the case for anyone.
