cmake/conan.cmake missing from PyPI source tarball of krbalancing 0.5.0b0

[boegel]

The source tarball available on PyPI for krbalancing 0.5.0b0 is missing cmake/conan.cmake, which leads to the following errors when trying to build from those sources:

  CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:20 (include):
    include could not find requested file:

      /tmp/krbalancing-0.5.0b0/cmake/conan.cmake


  --  project version 0.5.0b0
  CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:33 (conan_cmake_configure):
    Unknown CMake command "conan_cmake_configure".


  -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

It seems like 0.5.0b0 was published on PyPI by @dilawar using changes in the the open pull request #22 ?

I danced around this by downloading the sources from //github.com/dilawar/Knight-Ruiz-Matrix-balancing-algorithm/archive/v0.5.0b0.tar.gz, and also applying this patch to fix some problems with the current version of conan (1.58.0):

remove workaround for problem with conan and pybind11 (which is fixed in recent conan versions),
and fix for: ERROR: No remote 'conan-center' defined in remotes

@boegel Thanks for the changes. I'd be happy to merge these changes to my fork.

I needed a wheel (pip compatible) for my cicd pipeline hence I published the wheel. Unfortunately, pypi doesn't still have namespace support. Anyway, I might have used a slightly different name.

Not sure what is the best way forward.

@dilawar I'm happy to open a pull request, but should I then send it to your fork (since #22 is not merged)?
Is that the new official upstream for the project?

Yes. That's the best way forward since there is no update on #22.

No.

No.

But that fork is used to publish new releases on PyPI though? Doesn't that make it official? 🤔

I opened #22 because this package was not available on PyPI but was available on conda. I needed a package that could be installed using pip because I was not using conda. I published it on PyPI because it there was no pypi package before. I will hand over the PyPI package to the owner of this repo happily.

I should add a note in README that it is not an official package.
