Linking to conda-forge's PyTorch?

[jakirkham]

Am aware of the discussion in issue ( pytorch/pytorch#138506 ) and respect the PyTorch project leadership's decision on this issue

As Ralf nicely summarized in this comment ( pytorch/pytorch#138506 (comment) ), there has been a lot of work on the conda-forge side to deliver high quality, feature complete PyTorch packages

Given this am wondering if there is some way to capture this on the PyTorch website and direct Conda users there. Am not sure what the best way is to do this. Though here are some rough ideas, which I would appreciate feedback on

---

For example would be possible to capture this in the install selector text?

pytorch.github.io/published_versions.json

Lines 29 to 33 in 2f41f96

	"conda": {
	"cuda.x": {
	"note": "<b>NOTE:</b> Conda packages are no longer available. Please use pip instead.<br />",
	"command": null
	},

Or maybe we could include some text below the install selector about the conda-forge packages?

---

In terms of text am wondering if something like this would be reasonable

PyTorch no longer supplies Conda packages.

Community-supported packages are available on the conda-forge channel:

conda install -c conda-forge pytorch

Please redirect all feedback to the conda-forge PyTorch package maintainers

These are all rough ideas. So would be interested in hearing your thoughts and feedback 🙂

Please! This has been confusing.

@atalman what do you think about this proposal?
