requirements from custom channels

[dkoppstein]

Hi, I was trying to create a recipe for MiGMAP which is relevant to my work. However, it seems like I have run into conda/conda#1504 which is that I require a certain version of java-jre to run the package. This package is available on anaconda.org but only in a custom channel, cyclus. Do you guys have an idea of a workaround to specify a package from a specific channel as a requirement for another package? See also conda/conda-build#532.

We have basically a copy of that package in bioconda: java-jdk. The only difference is that we use the zulu build. Does depending on that work for you?

So far, apart from the r channel, we don't depend on external channels, and if possible I would like to keep it that way, because we can never know what happens to these channels.

Yes, that package works for me. I'm running into another issue, which I've described further in this PR (which is failing at the moment). But I'll close this issue. Thanks!
