Un-archive weave feedstock

[andrewtruong]

Hi, I'd like to un-archive the weave feedstock and make me the new maintainer.

The old project called weave was archived per #778. The new project, now called weave on pypi, would like to start publishing on conda.

It appears that you'd like to point the same name to a completely different package? We do not allow that on conda-forge.

I think in this case it would be reasonable to follow PyPI and allow reuse of weave as a package name.

[beckermr]

We have not allowed this on conda-forge (except for a few very special instances) since it has the potential to break things in unintuitive ways.

[andrewtruong]

I understand your concern.

The pypi package name changed over 2 years ago, and the conda package has not had any updates in almost 6 years. I think we can draw a clean line separating the old vs. new packages by version number -- namely anything weave>=0.20.0 is the new package, and below is the old package (the latest version of the old package is 0.17.0)

[beckermr]

We've had some internal discussions and are moving ahead with a plan on this. More later.

Thank you!

Hi @beckermr , any updates? Is there anything I can do to help?

Hey folks, just wanted to check in here. It seems like the CFEP above is good? Is there anything stopping us from unarchiving this?
