RAPIDS Metadata

rapids-metadata is a repository where information about the structure of the RAPIDS project itself is kept. This information is split into RAPIDS versions, which in turn are split into RAPIDS repositories, which are further split into RAPIDS packages (both Python packages and Conda packages.)

The information currently provided by this package consists of:

Which RAPIDS repositories are available
Which RAPIDS packages are available
Which RAPIDS packages require a CUDA suffix (-cu11, -cu12, etc.)
Which RAPIDS packages require an alpha spec (>=0.0.0a0) due to publishing nightly binaries

The motivating use case for this project is pre-commit-hooks, but other projects may certainly use it too.

This package can also output the metadata in JSON form for consumption by external programs, such as shell scripts and jq. To get JSON output, run:

rapids-metadata-json

This will print the metadata for the RAPIDS version specified by the VERSION file in the current directory or above. If you wish to get metadata for all RAPIDS versions instead, run:

rapids-metadata-json --all-versions

Justification

pre-commit-hooks has to know things about the structure of the RAPIDS project in order to make the correct recommendations to the developer. However, this structure changes frequently enough that publishing a new version of pre-commit-hooks for each structural change is not feasible. Therefore, this package acts as an unpinned dependency of pre-commit-hooks (and any other project that wants to use it) so that the RAPIDS project structure can be maintained independently of the pre-commit-hooks logic.
