RFC: Align conda releases between conda-forge and nvidia channels #273
Description
While currently the cuda-python conda packages on both channels:
- https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/cuda-python (from https://github.com/conda-forge/cuda-python-feedstock)
- https://anaconda.org/nvidia/cuda-python
are maintained by the same team, they are built using different conda recipes (the nvidia channel one is internal). In particular, the cuda-version meta package is not honored by the nvidia varaiant, which starting CUDA 12.5 is considered an outdated practice.
This RFC is a record for our intention to make sure the cuda-python package (and all future packages that we build, #105) in sync and interoperable between both channels.

Happy to chat with Vlad and yourself on alignment 🙂

After comparing the two recipes, the nvidia channel recipe doesn't have any changes that need to be ported to the conda-forge-feedstock. Therefore the plan going forward is that we will first go through the steps to make a conda-forge release, and then distribute those same packages to the nvidia channel. Note that the previous nvidia channel packages already had a dependency on conda-forge, so there should be no noticeable effects.
The internal nvidia recipe is free to be archived and is now being marked as such. Closing.
