RLS: 2.0.2

[datapythonista]

This is the tracker for the 2.0.2 release. Probably happening mid-May.

cc @pandas-dev/pandas-core

Thoughts on releasing next week? Would this work for you @datapythonista? We have a bunch of fixes, so a release would b worth it

[datapythonista]

Yes, I was thinking about that. I'm at a conference this week, but I can release early next week.

[datapythonista]

There were some unexpected things and I haven't been able to release yet as you've seen. I can release Friday, or if people prefer to avoid "deployments" on Friday, I can release Monday too. I'll do it Friday of no objections.

[phofl]

I'd be in favour of releasing Friday, it's only a patch release, so should be ok

[datapythonista]

I started the release few hours ago, but the docs build of the 2.0.x branch is failing. Not sure exactly why, but I think I may have a fix, will keep this thread posted.

[datapythonista]

CI is green for 2.0.x, and everything is ready. I'll tag now.

[datapythonista]

pandas 2.0.2 tagged, CI for wheels and docs running, PR for conda-forge opened: conda-forge/pandas-feedstock#164

I'll continue tomorrow morning (Middle East time) with publishing the wheels, merging the conda-forge PR, and the rest of the release stuff.

There is something odd with the tests. All tests work just fine until the release, but the Linux 32 test failed to start with the empty commit we use for the release, and for the tag builds. This is the error:

All wheels have been generated correctly (we don't have wheels for Linux 32 anyway), so moving forward with the release, but it'd be good to understand what's going on.

I don't think we backported #51525 so if you are trying to build in parallel on that branch you might run into that issue (not at computer to double check - but error message matches what that resolved)
