What happened?

The https://github.com/conda/conda-lock page mentions that meta.yaml is a supported file source, but how then can you use the .lock file to do a conda build? Is it even possible?

Additional Context

No response

conda-lock doesn't do the build, it just reads the dependencies out of the meta.yaml. This is useful when you want to create a development environment for example and your conda recipe is in the same repository as the source code of your package

If https://github.com/conda/conda-build/issues/5489 is ever implemented, the answer to this issue will be "yes".
