Extend anaconda copy to allow name & version changes

What is the idea?

I'd like to be able to download some conda binaries from https://anaconda.org/pytorch-nightly/torchserve-nightly and then promote them to https://anaconda.org/pytorch/torchserve. Version numbers for nightly scripts will include some date like 20220709 and the official release versions will look something like 0.6.0 https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda-repository/user-guide/tasks/pkgs/copy-pkg/

So basically I'd like an extension of anaconda copy --old-name conda-forge/glueviz/20220101 --to jsmith/glueviz/0.23

But I'm not sure how to go about renaming a conda package even manually (would happily do so if an automated solution is ways out)

Why is this needed?

My team has a Github Action that takes care of uploading conda binaries for our package on a nightly basis pytorch/serve#1685

When that PR is landed we will be able to do official releases by using another manually triggerable Github Action which takes in as arguments a nightly release date to promote from and an official release version to promote to. The script will work by downloading a nightly release, renaming it and then reuploading to an official channel. This is somewhat easy to do with PyPi https://github.com/pytorch/serve/blob/master/binaries/pip/retag_pypi_binary.sh and especially easy with Docker with their docker tag

What should happen?

Hi folks did someone manage to take a look at this issue? I've settled on trying out something like this but it's not nearly as
clean as what I'm used to with the anaconda cli https://github.com/pytorch/serve/pull/1735/files#diff-9b4b87a31d6636dc6cc60083cca57156f0af4e881d72eb8d1f13d8c2c6db67de

But it unfortunately doesn't quite work

A repro

1. wget https://anaconda.org/agunapal/torchserve/0.6.0.dev20220713/download/linux-64/torchserve-0.6.0.dev20220713-py39_0.tar.bz2
2. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pytorch/serve/c941363196c5cc8dd7d6ac6d7b68ea4604d65dff/binaries/conda/retag_conda_binary.sh
3. NEW_VERSION=0.8.3 ./retag_conda_binary.sh torchserve-*
4. anaconda upload torchserve*

Which fails and I probably need to spend more time figuring out what I'm doing wrong

(serve) ubuntu@ip-172-31-16-198:~/serve/binaries/conda$ anaconda upload torchserve-0.8.3-py39_0.tar.bz2

Hey @msaroufim thanks for the request! I'm not able to transfer this as it's a different org, so can you open this on the Anaconda Client repo? That is what the 'anaconda` command is and will put it in the right queue to be sorted through. Thanks!
