   Hello @ap-- and thank you for your message, your offer, and your interest through ratarmount 👋

   I am not interested in providing python-xz via conda myself, nor maintaining such a distribution. Indeed, I am not currently a user of conda. And from experience it's better not to get involved into maintaining something you don't use 😉

   With that being said, feel free to create the necessary wizardry to distribute python-xz on conda yourself! ^{(it's not like I could prevent you from doing that anyway…)} I would however appreciate if the conda distribution could indicate in some ways (metadata?) the following:

   • That it's an unofficial distribution (i.e. you are the maintainer, I'm not);
   • The upstream URL https://github.com/Rogdham/python-xz (mainly for end users to be able to report bugs easilly); this is already in the metadata of the package on PyPI if that's of any help.

   Would that make any sense to you? Other thoughts that come to my mind:

   • When a new version of python-xz is released, would you be automatically noticed so that the conda distribution is updated?
   • Of course feel free to ask any questions you might have, or if you have some changes required in the python-xz package so that it's easier for you to distribute it on conda, I'm open to suggestions!

   Regarding the last point, I feel like this issue would be the good place to discuss should the case arise, so I'm leaving it open as a result.

   100% agree 😄

   To address your points:

   That it's an unofficial distribution (i.e. you are the maintainer, I'm not);`

   That works. conda-forge feedstocks list the maintainers. I will just not add you to that list then.

   The upstream URL https://github.com/Rogdham/python-xz (mainly for end users to be able to report bugs easilly);

   Same here. In the conda-forge feedstock repository the upstream repository will be linked

   When a new version of python-xz is released, would you be automatically noticed so that the conda distribution is updated?

   Yes, the conda eco-system runs bots that inform the maintainers once a new version of your tool lands on pypi.

   Of course feel free to ask any questions you might have, or if you have some changes required in the python-xz package so that it's easier for you to distribute it on conda, I'm open to suggestions!

   Thanks, I'll see if I run into any issues, and will update you here.

   Cheers,
   Andreas 😃

   Hi @Rogdham,

   the conda-forge package is now available.
   If you're interested, here is the feedstock repository and (after setting up conda) you can install via conda with the following command:

   conda install -c conda-forge python-xz

   I'll maintain the package on conda-forge. Whenever you release a new version on pypi, I'll be notified via the conda-forge bot, so updated conda packages will be out as soon as I update the feedstock (usually within 1-3 days).

   And here's the code for a shields.io badge in case you want to add it to the readme:

   [![Conda (channel only)](https://img.shields.io/conda/vn/conda-forge/python-xz?label=conda)](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/python-xz)
   

   Cheers,
   Andreas 😃
