I made a mistake with the distributed release. The distributed release does not include the correct pinning and is still pinning against dask 2024.6.0.

This prohibits successful conda releases and likely causes some pip check errors.

@jrbourbeau did you run into this in the past?

I suspect we'll have to release all packages again?

[jrbourbeau]

Ah, yeah you're right that we'll need to release things again with updated pinnings to 2024.6.2

• dask pins distributed tightly and dask-expr loosely
• distributed pins dask tightly
• dask-expr pins dask tightly

Do you have bandwidth for 2024.6.2 today? Happy to help if you're busy

[jrbourbeau]

I'm going to start pushing 2024.6.2 out in a few minutes

Closing as 2024.6.2 is out on PyPI, conda-forge, and docker registries
