Uploading to conda-forge?

[david-cortes-intel]

@ndgrigorian This package has not been uploaded to conda-forge, but it doesn't appear to have any dependencies that would prevent it from being uploaded there.

Is there any blocker towards publishing this package in conda-forge?

[ndgrigorian]

There shouldn't be a blocker but we haven't had the need to. What is the need behind the request? Just for clarity.

The GPU functionality in SYCL-based software appears to require this package when used in a conda-managed environment. We have packages like scikit-learn-intelex in conda-forge which have GPU capabilities, but cannot pull a dependency on this package in the conda-forge build.

it's been discussed and we are now planning to add this package to conda-forge
