archive libcal

Guidelines for marking packages as broken:

• We prefer to patch the repo data (see here)
  instead of marking packages as broken. This alternative workflow makes environments more reproducible.
• Packages with requirements/metadata that are too strict but otherwise work are
  not technically broken and should not be marked as such.
• Packages with missing metadata can be marked as broken on a temporary basis
  but should be patched in the repo data and be marked unbroken later.
• In some cases where the number of users of a package is small or it is used by
  the maintainers only, we can allow packages to be marked broken more liberally.
• We (conda-forge/core) try to make a decision on these requests within 24 hours.

What will happen when a package is marked broken?

• Our bots will add the broken label to the package. The main label will remain on the package and this is normal.
• Our bots will rebuild our repodata patches to remove this package from the repodata.
• In a few hours after the anaconda.org CDN picks up the new patches, you will no longer be able to install the package from the main channel.

Checklist:

• I want to archive a feedstock:
  • Pinged the team for that feedstock for their input.
  • Make sure you have opened an issue on the feedstock explaining why it was archived.
  • Linked that issue in this PR description.
  • Added links to any other relevant issues/PRs in the PR description.

The issue in libcal feedstock: conda-forge/libcal-feedstock#11

libcal is no longer actively maintained after checking with libcal team (same as cublasmp team). Also, the dependents (cublasmp, cusolvermp) have since dropped their dependency on libcal in favor of NCCL for a couple of releases now.

Repo query shows no other packages depend on libcal.
