lib/casa/data not being collected about casacore-feedstock HOT 1 OPEN

Yes, you're noticing a real problem. The CASA support data files are pretty hefty (about 300 MB from what I'm seeing) and they're not OS-dependent, so conda-forge ought to distribute them as a separate noarch package. But we don't have any package for them at all. (There are some technical reasons why it's not straightforward to package the data files directly in the casacore package, too.)

I have a personal package of the CASA data files. I haven't updated it for a while, but it should get you going:

https://anaconda.org/pkgw-forge/casa-data/

It would be good to integrate this package into conda-forge for real, although I don't know if there are any limits on package file sizes that might cause problems. My recipe is here:

https://github.com/pkgw/conda-recipes/tree/master/recipes/casa-data

If we integrate the data into conda-forge there would be a question as to whether to make casacore require casa-data. You can do a lot with the libraries without needing to tack on the 300 MB download, but if the user were to get one of the errors above, it'd be hard to convey to them how to solve the issue.
