Release 7.17.x versions on conda-forge

Comment:

Currently conda-forge seems to have trouble with the release structure we use at Elastic, maintaining and releasing two major release streams at a time. See: elastic/elasticsearch-py#1980

Going to cc @conda-forge/core for a bit of help here, what's the best way to implement this situation for a feedstock?

Hi! You can create a branch for the 7.x series and merge the relevant PRs to that branch instead of main.

Thanks for the reply @jaimergp, is there a way to configure automated upgrades on that branch or it would have to be a manual process?

[jaimergp]

I am afraid it has to be manual for now :(

[sethmlarson]

I've pushed a branch with the updated recipe, this is all that's needed and Conda press will do the rest? https://github.com/conda-forge/elasticsearch-feedstock/tree/7.x

Unfortunately the CI failed. From now on, you can create fork-PRs targeting 7.x to address issues (direct to push to the feedstock is not recommended because it always triggers an upload).

See #74
