[pdal] PDAL on conda-forge

[Bradley Chambers]

Today we are happy to announce the initial release of a Conda package for
PDAL available in the conda-forge channel [1]. This release is Linux and
macOS only, but Windows should be close behind.

For now, the package is fairly minimal, as many of the dependencies that
enable PDAL plugins are themselves not available as conda-forge packages
and are having to be created.

Another notable omission is the Python plugin and package. The package has
recently been relocated [2] and will be submitted as a separate Conda
package in the near future.

To install PDAL to your current Conda environment, simply issue the
following command.

conda install -c conda-forge pdal

It may be better to create and activate a separate environment with PDAL
and its dependencies, which can be done with the following commands.

conda create -n pdalenv -c conda-forge pdal
conda activate pdalenv

If you run into issues specific to the Conda package, please feel free to
report them in the conda-forge/pdal-feedstock repository (as opposed to the
PDAL source repository) [3].
