not on conda

[aaronspring]

when I try to create a new climpred release on conda-forge, I get the following error:

conda_build.exceptions.DependencyNeedsBuildingError: Unsatisfiable dependencies for platform linux-64: {'bias-correction'} https://dev.azure.com/conda-forge/feedstock-builds/_build/results?buildId=363119&view=logs&j=656edd35-690f-5c53-9ba3-09c10d0bea97&t=e5c8ab1d-8ff9-5cae-b332-e15ae582ed2d&l=529

so apparently on a linux-64 platform, conda-forge has an issue with bias-correction. Anyone got an idea?

This is the problem:

Avoid external dependencies

As a general rule: all dependencies have to be packaged by conda-forge as well. This is necessary to assure ABI compatibility for all our packages.

on the other hand in xskillscore, we use the pypi package properscoring, which is not in conda-forge: https://github.com/conda-forge/xskillscore-feedstock/blob/d5c759a993618d2905a5d108759ad3e93f30e459/recipe/meta.yaml#L29

another way would be to put bias_correction on conda-forge

Ok. properscoring is on conda, see https://github.com/conda-forge/properscoring-feedstock

following https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64916092/how-do-i-install-pip-packages-through-a-conda-build-recipe, we can use https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda-build/en/latest/resources/commands/conda-skeleton-pypi.html
