Publish on conda-forge?

[DocOtak]

While have never used it myself, I'm aware that conda-forge is a very popular place to get python packages.

It would probably be a good benefit to the community if we figure out how to get this package published on conda-forge.

[rcaneill]

I totally agree with you, I have never done it but it should not be too complicated

[rcaneill]

I started to create the recipe for conda-forge, see https://github.com/rcaneill/staged-recipes/blob/gsw-xarray/recipes/gsw-xarray/meta.yaml

I'll try to comment on this issue with the steps needed to create the recipe (and maybe how to make it automatic via github actions when releasing?)

[DocOtak]

Awesome, feel free to commit the master/main branch here if you feel things are ready (or if you need to experiment).

Does the build on/for conda-forge fail without that "use deprecated out of tree build" option?

[rcaneill]

I don't know, I commit the change Daniel Ching proposed, we'll see if this builds. I also asked him if the option is necessary

Answer from the conda-forge team:

conda-forge/staged-recipes#18775 (comment)

Yes, this is the current recommendation for packages that use poetry for build until conda-build is patched. I believe that without this arg, poetry will try and create its own build environment which is not what we want / is redundant.

@rcaneill I'm seeing some emails suggesting this is/has happened! Awesome stuff! Thanks so much!

[rcaneill]

It seems that there is still a little problem... I'll try to fix it / get some help

[rcaneill]

We are now on conda-forge!
