[Micromamba] Missing features / mamba - to be implemented

[Hind-M]

Based on the mamba tests, here are some features missing in micromamba compared to mamba:

• Missing env update subcommand [Micromamba] Add env update #2827
• Missing env config subcommand
  (env subcommands will be deprecated, env config is pretty much equivalent to config which could be used instead)
• Missing local channels: -c local or --use-local (exists with repoquery)
  Note that --use-local would not be equivalent to -c local in micromamba (not supported like in mamba/conda).
  On the other hand, the former flag would be available with repoquery commands.
  (Rationale: I think we should be avoiding having multiple flags for the same thing (which people are not even aware of), and also this would be confusing with the repoquery flag which has the same name).
  Fix local channels location #2851 Add local channels test #2853 Add CI test for local channels #2854
• Check repoquery behavior differences (related issue)
• Returned version is not tested with micromamba info
• Missing --mamba-experimental (not sure if this is really useful/used...)
  If set, supposed to disable --json if it's there, and to still execute a transaction even with --dry-run

@Hind-M: do you think this can be closed? 🙂

[Hind-M]

I don't know. If we want to keep track of the missing --mamba-experimental flag, then no.

[jjerphan]

I do not really see the benefits of --mamba-experimental given its description.

Do you have more information about it?

Do you have more information about it?

No, therefore keeping track of it here.
