Since our circleci instances are limited. Can we move this check to azure pipelines or github actions and have it run nightly on master?

Hi @nixphix are you still interested in working on this?

If so, aside from @thomasjpfan's comment, it's currently failing due to:

missing from VCS:
  sklearn/linear_model/_sag_fast.pyx
  sklearn/utils/_seq_dataset.pxd
  sklearn/utils/_seq_dataset.pyx

I think these should be added to the whitelist in setup.py.

@lucyleeow will update the PR with GH action

@thomasjpfan this is the suggestion from check-manifest now, should I build sklearn to generate these files? or add it to the exclude list?

Here you can find the build log

They should be excluded from the maniftest.

I have added the files to ignore list now the check is passing
