Description
The lsst-dm/sample-avro-alert repository holds the Avro schema definitions for alert packets, and some Python utility code (in lsst.alert.packet) for loading those definitions. DM-24324 adds alert generation to the production pipeline, so these definitions are now ready to be used in the stack.
Before adding lsst.alert.packet to lsst_distrib, this repository should be renamed and moved to lsst/alert_packet.
fastavro is a third-party dependency of the Python utility code, and is necessary for using the Avro schemas. It should be added to lsst_thirdparty too, I think (but am not sure - is that the right destination? I'm still learning the basics).

Usually if a package is called "alert_packets" we expect the python import to be lsst.alert.packets so there seems to be an inconsistency in the proposed naming at the moment.
Right, let's call the package alert_packet. I'll update the ticket description.
Is there a fastavro conda-forge package?
I support this RFC, which is necessary for implementing alert serialization in AP.
Which version(s) of fastavro has been tested? conda-forge has 0.23.3, there's also 0.22.13 - I assume 0.23.3 would be fine. If so, I could add it to a DM-24758.
Brian Van Klaveren, I've been using 0.23.3. I think that's the right version. Thanks.
