## New Agenda Items

- [x] DH: Implement base_url CEP in conda - does repodata.json need to support same authentication as packages? (sending all your client tokens to base_url's server if someone changes repodata.json?)
- rattler: using (OS) keychain and JSON file to specify per-host auth methods
- (JRG) should we separate authentication CEP? (Yes)
- Current auth mechanisms assume channel and hosts are equivalent; such assumptions now being challenged by `base_url` and mirror support
- Cheng and/or Travis will draft the CEP.

- [x] (@carterbox) Make multi-output recipes easier to divide with better file name pattern matching
- This is a shameless plug for the following PR
- https://github.com/conda/conda-build/pull/5216
- I may not make it to this meeting because daylight savings caused unexpected scheduling conflict

- [x] JRG: Echoing HV's comments about conda-build's `stdlib()` efforts in https://conda-forge.org/community/minutes/2024-03-06/

- [x] DH https://github.com/conda/conda-index/issues/132 remove redundant subdir/arch/ fields from individual repodata package records
