@hiroalchem question, is your request gear towards the lineedit in the bottom of the dialog where you can type any package or drag and drop a tarball from the filesystem?
Do you mean to add extra channel besides conda-forge, is the case for plugins in the napari plugin ecosystem that they need extra channels besides conda forge?
Thanks!

Haven't heard from @hiroalchem, so I am not sure I follow. Is this about adding extra channels that will be added globally to any conda install, or locally (per package item) when installing something?
Thoughts @jaimergp ?
I think they'd like to obtain plugins for non-conda-forge channels? We currently feed it from the npe2api, so I guess they'll need to supply additional endpoints with the same JSON payloads. This is not urgent or even required, but I created the issue so it wouldn't get lost when closing the other meta issue.

Indeed, since that is a static site, I don't see this happening soonish :-|
I don't think it would be plugins in other channels, but rather plugins with dependencies in other channels? like -c nvidia or something? (bad example, i know they've moved into conda-forge)
I feel that's only for very specific packages (e.g. pytorch
on Windows, etc), and not a widespread need. As in, this is likely going to cause more issues that it solves. I would be ok with a very specific setting like "Obtain PyTorch from -c pytorch
on Windows". That said, I think this particular example will be soon gone thanks to https://github.com/conda-forge/pytorch-cpu-feedstock/pull/231
My original post was mainly about PyTorch, particularly how to make it easier for users to install it when they want to use a GPU.
