DH: Implement base_url CEP in conda - does repodata.json need to support same authentication as packages? (sending all your client tokens to base_url's server if someone changes repodata.json?)
- rattler: using (OS) keychain and JSON file to specify per-host auth methods
- (JRG) should we separate authentication CEP? (Yes)
  - Current auth mechanisms assume channel and hosts are equivalent; such assumptions now being challenged by base_url and mirror support
  - Cheng and/or Travis will draft the CEP.
(@carterbox) Make multi-output recipes easier to divide with better file name pattern matching
- This is a shameless plug for the following PR
- https://github.com/conda/conda-build/pull/5216
- I may not make it to this meeting because daylight savings caused unexpected scheduling conflict
JRG: Echoing HV's comments about conda-build's stdlib() efforts in https://conda-forge.org/community/minutes/2024-03-06/
DH https://github.com/conda/conda-index/issues/132 remove redundant subdir/arch/ fields from individual repodata package records
