conda-pypi-test

A simple development conda channel for testing repodata for conda-pypi.

Warning

This is for testing new repodata formats and it is not for production use! If you are looking for production index generation for a channel use conda-index).

Setup

Create the conda environment:

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate conda-pypi-test

Quick Start

1. Edit packages.txt with your desired packages:

requests==2.32.5
fastapi==0.116.1

1. Generate repodata:

python generate.py

This generates:

• noarch/repodata.json - Uncompressed metadata
• noarch/repodata.json.bz2 - Bzip2 compressed (faster downloads)
• noarch/repodata.json.zst - Zstandard compressed (best compression)

1. Use the channel locally:

conda install -c . package-name

GitHub Releases Hosting

When you push changes to packages.txt, GitHub Actions will automatically:

• Set up the conda environment from environment.yml
• Generate repodata with compression
• Upload to GitHub Releases (tag: noarch)

Use the channel from GitHub:

conda install -c https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda-pypi-test/releases/download/noarch package-name
