.conda packages I noticed the code sets
"CONDA_USE_ONLY_TAR_BZ2": "True",
however newer versions of packages only use .conda and not .tar.bz2 when will you support
.conda
packages? I noticed that netfix has added decorators to support this? https://github.com/Netflix/metaflow-nflx-extensions

There is a merged pr addressing this. It should be released soon.
But yes, the extension also provides a new conda implementation. You should feel free to try that out but it is not officially supported (but come here and ask me questions and I’ll happily help you out)

(As in: that extension provides a lot more than just .conda support)
so the next release was triggered which should support .conda packages so that should be solved. The metaflow-nflx-extensions supports that and pip and provides a biit more functionality around it. Does this answer your questions?

will the release mention this? it did take me a while to work out that when using conda, various env variables were being set (namely CONDA_USE_ONLY_TAR_BZ2) which meant i could create an environment manually, but not using the metalflow conda decorator....
