Blocking for nextstrain/forecasts-ncov#39

TODO:

• Parallel addition to nextstrain/conda-base, see Add pango_aliasor conda-base#25

[corneliusroemer]

Anything holding this up? It's blocking for nextstrain/forecasts-ncov#39

Looks good to me, though I haven't done any updating to docker-base in a while and so I don't know if there's anything we need to do to trigger image rebuild or if this will work automatically.

@tsibley or @victorlin: Okay to merge this?

[victorlin]

Looks good to me, though we had bigger picture discussions in Slack, i.e. maybe forecasts-ncov should maintain its own Docker image that extends nextstrain/base with evofr and pango_aliasor instead of relying on them here.

[tsibley]

This seems fine modulo what @victorlin said, but @corneliusroemer please do follow up sooner than later with the "Parallel addition to nextstrain/conda-base" todo.

I don't know if there's anything we need to do to trigger image rebuild or if this will work automatically.

It's fully automatic. …but we're currently experiencing a CI breakage due to a change from this morning. A proposed fix is currently being tested. I plan to resolve it one way or another tomorrow morning.

[corneliusroemer]

If we were to make more workflow specific images on top of docker-base, we could remove pango_aliasor again. All repos that were to use that package would then just have to make their own images - but that number isn't going to be much larger than 1 anyways. So I don't think that's blocking.

Merging now that our CI and cache issues have been fixed.
