[ENH] - Add ability to build env from lockfile #399

Open kcpevey opened 2 months ago

kcpevey commented 2 months ago

Feature description

I'd like the ability to create an env from a lockfile.

Value and/or benefit

Currently there is no way to truly reproduce an existing environment in conda-store. The closest we have is the exported, pinned environment.yml. A better option would be to allow conda lock files to be used to build envs. We give the lockfiles to the users, but we don't have a mechanism to ingest them.

The backend was recently updated to allow this (https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda-store/issues/676 and https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda-store/pull/772). Now the frontend will need work to enable users to use this new feature.

Anything else?

Things to consider:
