This (hopefully) adds the ability to upload test releases (alpha, beta, whatever) to a less visible place on anaconda.
The goal is to make it easy for us to create and test possible releases while ensuring that the typical user never installs a pre-release by accident. pip has this built in to some extent -- if a release has text like "alpha" or "beta" in the name of the release then pip will not install it unless one uses a special flag (
--pre).Conda doesn't have something equivalent but does have the concept of labels. Packages by default are uploaded to the "main" channel; when a user does
conda install -c vpython vpythonthen conda checks the main channel for the user vpython on anaconda.org. One can have other labels; this adds one calledpre-release.We can fairly easily install those by including the label but ordinary users won't have any reason to do that.
