Is your feature request related to a problem?
No win-64 conda package has ever been published. windows-latest was commented out of the conda matrices in 3ab2e8fe4 (2023-06-07, "skip windows conda pkg"), and #2055 removed the steps that were left dead. No failure log survives. The likely cause is conda/pypcapkit/bld.bat: its FOR loop uses %A, which must be %%A inside a .bat file, so the script stops with a syntax error. That loop landed 30 minutes before the skip.

Plan (owner approved)

  1. Phase 1 — build and smoke-test only, no upload. A non-blocking windows-latest leg in Conda Update that cannot publish: no upload steps, and outside environment: anaconda or gated off. It warns like a KTLO leg and stays green. It needs:
    • bld.bat rewritten to install every wheel in one call, as build.sh does, with error checks.
    • shell: bash on the bash steps, Windows interpreter paths in the smoke test, and win-64 case arms.
    • util/conda_vendor.py gaining win-64: platform tables, a PE (.pyd) reader in native(), and Lib/site-packages in smoke().
    • Test updates, including test_conda_no_windows_steps_1967, which allows Windows steps only once a Windows leg exists.
    • create-release.yml and its PCAPKIT_CONDA_SUBDIRS left unchanged.
  2. Phase 2 — publish. Once phase 1 has passed real Conda Update runs, upload with the anaconda-client CLI as the Intel legs do (ci(conda): upload the macos-26-intel legs with the anaconda CLI (#2044) #2049). Add win-64 to PCAPKIT_CONDA_SUBDIRS and the release conda job in the same change.

Ideally a Windows unit-test leg runs before phase 2, so the first published win-64 package has had a test run.

    Phase 1 merged in #2067. Phase 2 (publishing win-64) is blocked: it waits for the first Conda Update run on main at fd0d2e724 or later whose conda-dist (windows-latest) leg ends with no Windows summary warnings, which shows that bld.bat, the Git Bash paths and the smoke test all work on a real runner. I'll read that run when it lands and start phase 2 from it, or file whatever it turns up.

    The first run of the Windows test leg (#2095, job 120605026883) gave 48 failed, 2074 passed, 1121 skipped and 4 errors. Grouped by cause:

    Phase 2 still also waits for Saturday's run (2026-10-24 18:00Z), the first with conda-dist (windows-latest).

    #2150 merged (8670fa2e8). The upload is one dispatch away. Publishing is yours, so I haven't run it:

    gh workflow run cron-conda.yml --ref main -f publish=true

    Or use Actions → Conda Update → Run workflow, tick publish, on main.

    The run passes the full test gate, then bumps conda/build and pushes. It tags the commit and uploads every platform, then posts the report. Every platform includes the win-64 files missing here and the osx-64 files #2140 is about. If you'd like me to dispatch it, say so and I'll report the legs and anaconda.org's file list here. Moved wip → pending.

    Watching 40148809752. I'll report the bump commit, the tag, each conda-dist leg's upload, and anaconda.org's 1.5.0b14 file list by subdir here and on #2140.

    Done. The publish run 40148809752 ended success:

    • Bump: cace9c5ab ("Bumped build to 1"), tagged conda-1.5.0b14+1.
    • Legs: all 20 conda-dist legs passed, with the test gate first.
    • Report: cron-conda: conda distribution update report #2149 records "Pushed: build 1 … Tag: success … Upload: success".
    • anaconda.org, 1.5.0b14 build 1: linux-64 5, osx-arm64 5, osx-64 5, win-64 5. Build 0's linux-64 and osx-arm64 files are still there too.

    That covers both phases: Windows builds and smoke-tests (phase 1), and uploads from Conda Update and Create Release (phase 2, #2138), now with a real win-64 release. Closing.
