Separate build for use in testing?

[dopplershift]

So for testing, matplotlib builds against an internal copy of freetype 2.6.1. Are there any votes against me adding a branch and build creating conda-forge packages linked against that copy? (They would obviously go under a different label.)

This would help me a great deal doing CI on metpy and its plotting tests, which have now broken on AppVeyor due to the move to freetype 2.7.

I don't have anything against it. Let me know if you have the rights to create the branch.

(Sorry it took so long for me to notice this! Maybe you no longer need this 😳)

@dopplershift I guess this can be closed, right? If not please re-open.

[dopplershift]

Kinda. I can't get them on windows until 2.1 releases...

[dopplershift]

Ok, 2.1 is out so I should be able to get around to making this work now.

Not sure about Windows, but looks like it needs an update for mpl 3?

[ocefpaf]

Can we close this issue? Looks like SciTools/cartopy#1130 has everything you nee, right?

[dopplershift]

I'll close it out once #192 is in and I confirm all the packages seem fine. I was noticing some weird issues on my mac, probably related to what was fixed in #191.

Everything looks good here now.
