Dear Greg,

We should simplify for sure and have a main stream release, so Making a “basic” 
release already increase of the toolkit.

Also,  that would be interesting to have a “special” contributors releasing 
thing cause we need to be agile on that part too.

BR,

Guillaume

Objet : Re: [Rdkit-discuss] [Question] Ok to switch to conda-forge for RDKit 
builds?

Greg, I'm all for anything that makes the release process on developers easier; 
my main question is : With conda-forge, how hard is it to install just _one_ 
package without having everything else (say numpy, pandas, etc) upgraded to the 
latest conda-forge version? I've had situations in the past where i'm like "oh 
I'd just like the latest ___" and suddenly everything in my conda env has been 
upgraded to the bleeding edge.

Dear all,

TL;DR: Now that RDKit builds are available on conda-forge, I would like to stop 
doing builds on the rdkit conda channel. I'm looking for feedback about that 
here.

Thanks to the persistence of Peter St John and Matt Swain, the RDKit is now 
available on conda-forge:
https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/rdkit/files
If you take a look, you'll find builds for Mac, Linux, and Windows together 
with multiple versions of Python. The build/deployment steps are all automated. 
It's really cool!

Given that these packages now exist, I don't see much value in continuing to 
also host standard RDKit builds in the rdkit conda channel. So I would propose 
that we switch to using conda-forge as the primary channel for doing RDKit 
builds/distributions. Having the automated process available would save me a 
lot of time and remove the chance for me to make a mistake while doing the 
builds.[1]
If we go this way, I will update the documentation to point to conda-forge and 
will only do the occasional nightly or beta build in the rdkit conda channel.

Does anyone have any objections to this or see any problems that it might cause?

Many thanks to Matt and Peter for making the conda-forge builds happen!
