Mirror pro repo
dmarkwat opened this issue · comments
I'm imagining lots of reasons why this might be inadvisable, but is there a way (or reasons why not to) mirror the Anaconda "pro" repository? Seems the "free" repository is the only one to mirror when referring to the 'defaults' or 'anaconda' repo, but when I look at anaconda.org and search for a package under "pro" (e.g. accelerate) it appears as being under the "anaconda" owner. Recommendations or thoughts to work around this?
@dmarkwat It is not a technical challenge to update conda-mirror to do this.
I have no information regarding the legality of mirroring the pro repo (i am not a lawyer).
I am going to start having to mirror the r channel internally as we are starting to get some requests for r packages. The proposed update (PR incoming shortly) will allow you to pass in the fully qualified channel --upstream-channel https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/r instead of just a channel (like --upstream-channel conda-forge. Incidentally this will allow you to mirror the pro channel if you so choose.
Sounds great! That would work perfectly for the automation I'm setting up around this. Looking forward to the PR.
