`repodata not found` error on valid channel containing only `noarch` subdir

[baszalmstra]

The gateway feature has landed in rattler, will most likely make its way to pixi and rattler-build soon, closing this for now.

FWIW, conda yields no errors or warnings when using this channel. micromamba gives me

and then proceeds as normal.

Are you using py-rattler? Or how are you getting this error?

This happens because internally it calls fetch_repodata which assumes that the channel subdirectory exists. The function returns a special NotFound error (which is also reported to the logs), but the error should just be ignored if the subdir is not noarch.

Once https://github.com/mamba-org/rattler/pull/560/files is merged you will have a much much nicer interface.

@baszalmstra I'm using pixi to install it and this is where the errors are produced. And nice! I'll be looking forward to the new changes.
