Issue

The Pixi package manager is unable to install rio-cogeo:

pixi global install rio-cogeo
  × could not find an executable entrypoint in package rio-cogeo 5.2.0 pyhd8ed1ab_0 from conda-forge, are you sure
  │ it exists?

I suspect this occurs because the rio-cogeo feedstock meta.yaml does not include a build:entry_points: section, as described in the Conda-build Defining metadata

Something like the following (untested!!!) addition may resolve this, but I am unsure of the syntax since cogeo is a plugin for rio:

build:
  entry_points:
    - create = rio_cogeo.scripts:create
    - validate = rio_cogeo.scripts:validate

Installed packages

n/a (not running conda)

Environment info

n/a (not running conda)

I'm not sure if that is a bug in pixi or if we should be doing something different in conda-forge recipes for this kind of entrypoint. rio-cogeo doesn't have one per se but adds to rasterio:

[project.entry-points."rasterio.rio_plugins"]
cogeo = "rio_cogeo.scripts.cli:cogeo"

and we do test if in the recipe. @wolfv, sorry for the ping here but you probably can guide us to the right person in pixi that could help us out here.

Hi 👋 I'm from the pixi team, I think @wolfv is the best person to react to this, but I suspect we need something like: prefix-dev/pixi#342 to support this properly. But I'm unsure :)
