The reason for th1 redundancy is that those packages are partially broken in the default channel.\r\n~~(And we could not find a proper channel of communication to send the recipe patch back to them.)~~\r\n\r\nMaybe, when fixing a default channel package we should allow the package addition here as long as there is a plan to send that fix back to the default channel, and to remove the package from conda-forge once that happens."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/issues/comments/209145974","html_url":"https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/issues/22#issuecomment-209145974","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/issues/22","id":209145974,"user":{"login":"jakirkham","id":3019665,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3019665?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham","html_url":"https://github.com/jakirkham","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jakirkham/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-12T23:16:01Z","updated_at":"2016-04-12T23:16:01Z","body":"@NLeSC, noticed that you have a variety of interesting packages some present here and some not yet present (though we are eager to add). Given this is quickly becoming the place to get packages that may not yet be packaged by Continuum and we do the builds in automated VMs in very clean environments, I think you might benefit by adding some of your packages here. Also, feel free to sign up for packages that are valuable to your effort. If you need any help figuring out what is going on, please feel free to ping me and I will be happy to get you started. :smile:"}}
