Transfer of recipe from conda-forge to bioconda

Package Builders conda-forge

Hi there,

I’m having an issue with one package that used to be available on conda-forge, but was moved to bioconda as it gained some bioconductor dependencies. The package is r-alakazam, which you can see that used to be on conda-forge but is now available on bioconda.

However this is an issue for packaged depending on r-alakakam, such as r-shazam and r-scoper, because bioconda recipes always have priority for the conda-forge channel and the latest version on bioconda cannot be forcefully specified.

We discussed possible solutions with @mfansler in this thread which as far as I understood would mean changing the lable of the package, but not sure how to go about it. Would it be possible to establish a solution for these cases? For this specific case I’m happy to be a tester and help with whatever needed!

Hi! Sorry I missed this. conda-forge/core does not fully monitor this forum, so I think the best course of action would be to raise an issue in Issues · conda-forge/r-alakazam-feedstock · GitHub to:

  • Request archival
  • Ask about the transfer to a label (not sure if we have the infra for this)

This might break conda-forge users envs that are not using bioconda, though, so it might be rejected.
