This enables monthly dependabot updates for all packages whose versions are precisely pinned in
pyproject.toml
, which for us is various linters. This way, we will have a sense of (i) which linters have updates available; (ii) which linters can be updated immediately without causing any errors; and (iii) when a linter can't be immediately updated, an automated CI log of what first needs to be fixed. I believe monthly is the appropriate cadence for these checks; I really don't want to be bothered more often than that with linter updates, but I don't want them to get way out of date either without us noticing.One thing that might become annoying is various black updates, but if that occurs we can later tell dependabot to ignore them.
I first experimented with this on a personal fork of ckt. See here for the activity that dependabot created on my repository. The only difference with this PR is that the PRs here (and there going forward) will have the label
dependencies
but not the labelpython
, sincelabels
is explicitly provided in the yml.
