Hi, we noticed Metaflow doesn't accept

.conda

packages (PR #118) but since 10-12 days, new conda-forge packages are only released as

.conda

(e.g. this commit in boto3 and boto3 conda-forge files). We changed this flag: https://github.com/Netflix/metaflow/blob/81d9b1d1937e16a8423bd7ad4efda35117c517c1/metaflow/plugins/conda/conda.py#L181 and tried running in a local Conda environment and on AWS Batch and it appears to still work. Is there another reason to stick to the tar bz2 archives? (cc @eager-ability-68453)

that's an interesting development. let me look into this and follow up with you on this in a few hours.

Hi, @square-wire-39606. Any news regarding this?

@eager-ability-68453 I am working on a fix for this
