NOTE: (Oct. 10, 2023) we are renaming the .condarc to .condarc_dontuse files in home-directories and directories like /cds/sw/ds/ana/conda2-v2/inst/.condarc to not implicitly depend on those.  So channels must be specified explicitly in the conda commands.  Addition on Jan. 5, 2024 by cpo:  I found that when I was building cameralink-gateway (as user cpo) that it was trying to write into /cds/sw/ds/ana/conda2/inst/envs/conda_build/pkgs/python-3.9.18-h0755675_1_cpython.  So I restored my .condarc to get it to work.  I guess I could have tried to run as “psrel” instead.  Valerio writes: "I think this is another of the bug in conda. I think it is tied to the environment being group writable.  I don't think that having a condarc file is bad per se. I also have one with the paths pointing to non-home directories with more space. I think what we should avoid is having channels in the condarc, because when we run a conda build, conda also takes those channels into consideration. To have better control on what channels I am using, I removed all the channels from my condarc file and I specify the channels manually, but I still use the condarc for everything else!".

Need to create a feedstock for every new package.  LCLS2 feedstock packages are in (for example) https://github.com/slac-lcls/epix-feedstock.
