Hi Erik, Here's a issue to track the packages in conda-forge, https://github.co m/conda-forge/staged-recipes/issues/2357
Conda-forge is a community effort to distribute conda packages. What's better than Continuum's own conda packages is that these packages are much more up-to-date and the maintainers of scientific python stack are maintaining the conda recipe itself. Also you have control of how and when the packages get built. Conda-forge uses CircleCI, Travis-CI and Appveyor to build packages for Linux, OSX and Windows. You have to submit a PR to https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes and these CI will try to build the packges for you. Here's a PR that adds arb, *https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/pull/1758 <https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/pull/1758>*. After the PR has been merged, it will be moved to a git repo like https://github.com/conda-forge/arb-feedstock. You become a maintainer and you can invite others to maintain the recipe as well. Maintainers will be given access to these git repos (called feedstocks). Conda-forge has an active gitter channel at https://gitter.im/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io. Let me know if you need any more info.
