What is the idea?
conda-build generates repodata.json during its run, using get_build_index https://github.com/conda/conda-build/blob/main/conda_build/index.py#L112
This confusing function both downloads repodata.json, and generates new repodata.json for the local package cache / the packages that were just built.
It also provides the "conda-build index" command line interface, or "conda index".
Now that we have a much faster standalone conda-index descended from conda_build/index.py, conda-build should add a dependency on conda-index, and call that instead. (The downloading parts of
get_build_index
will probably have to stay)Why is this needed?
This will ensure that we have one excellent repodata.json generator.
What should happen?
