What am I doing instead of resting? Well, I'm playing with generating EPYTEST_DESELECT from `epytest --junit-xml=…`
#Gentoo #PyTest #Python

Having said all that and more: nothing atm comes close to gentoo with dwm. Bar my fav slackware of course 😄
#gentoo #slackware

The idea of using #gentoo on the #rasperry 5 is biting me in the ass
I'm updating GCC, huge pain

Czas na okresową kontrolę katalogu ~/.cache:

Kto by tam zakładał, że /home nie jest nieograniczone?
#Gentoo #Python

Time for the periodic check of my ~/.cache directory:

Not assuming infinite space in home directory is overrated.
#Gentoo #Python

Kiedy poświęcasz godzinę na zaciągnięcie poprawek bezpieczeństwa do wszystkich wersji Pythona w #Gentoo, bo właśnie weszły do repozytorium CPythona i nie było nowych wydań w planach — a kilka godzin później znów poświęcasz czas na zaktualizowanie paczek do nowych wersji, które jednak wydano.
No i oczywiście po drodze dziwisz się, dlaczego nie zamaskowałeś 3.8 poprzednim razem, i drugi raz popełn…

Days since a random #setuptools project migrated to `pyproject.toml`, removed `MANIFEST.in` and broke source distribution in the process: [0].
#Gentoo

Właśnie zaktualizowałem trochę starych paczek #Gentoo do EAPI 8. Niektóre nie były aktualizowane od 6 lat. I wiecie, co jest najlepsze? Że nadal działają — systemy budowania działają, kod się kompiluje, programy działają. W odróżnieniu od większości nowego oprogramowania.
#autotools

So I've just bumped a bunch of old #Gentoo packages to EAPI 8. Some of them haven't been updated for 6 years. And do you know what's best? They still worked — their build systems work, they compile and they just work. Unlike most of the stuff developed these days.
#autotools #C

Nieudany poranek z nowymi wersjami paczek Pythona dla #Gentoo:
1. Projekt, który zwlekał z wydaniem nowej wersji z poprawkami bezpieczeństwa 4 lata, w końcu wydał nową wersję. Oczywiście, jak się robi jedno wydanie na 7 lat, to definitywnie trzeba w tym czasie zmienić system budowania na zepsutą hybrydę #PythonPoetry

Tra un installazione di Gentoo e l’altra, ecco la risuolatura delle scarpette Tenaya!
Si vede quella ancora da fare che è al limite di suola, se si tira avanti si buca il fascione.
Ho sostituito il fascione di quella risuolata, era demolito.
#Gentoo #Arrampicata

Paczka Pythona, której nie idzie zainstalować na Pythonie 3.14, bo autor koniecznie musiał zaimplementować przetwarzanie AST na ponad 200 linii w `setup.py`? Dlaczego nie.
#Gentoo #Python #setuptools

Paczki Pythona:
"A pamiętacie tę całkowicie przypadkową wtyczkę PyTesta, która nie jest rozwijana od 2018 roku, i którą musieliście dodać do #Gentoo, bo postanowiliśmy jej używać bez jakiegokolwiek powodu? No cóż, właśnie przestaliśmy. A tak przy okazji — właśnie udało nam się znaleźć kolejną wtyczkę, która po raz trzeci wynajduje na nowo obsługę niestabilnych testów. Miłej zabawy!"

When you spend an hour backporting #CPython #security fixes to all versions of #Python #Gentoo, because there was no planned security release, and a few hours later you spend time again bumping to the unexpected security releases.
And then you are surprised why you didn't mask Python 3.8 yet, and repeat the same mistake.
Oh, and ofc update your CPython and PyPy (fixed PyPy only in Gentoo).

New reason not to use #PythonPoetry just dropped: they reinvented "reproducible builds", poorly. The problem is, they missed the purpose of reproducible builds entirely and they use it for source distributions too, and when you don't use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, they force all files to epoch (as in timestamp 0) instead of leaving them alone.
Like, all source distributions created by Poetry and uploaded to #PyPI now have 1970 timestamps that, simply speaking, break stuff. The most absurd thing is that ZIP can't handle that timestamp, so they override it and use another date for wheels 🤦.
#Gentoo #PEP517

A #Python package that can't be installed on Python 3.14, because the author had to implement a 200 line custom AST parser in `setup.py`? Yeah, why not.
#Gentoo #packaging #setuptools

A bad #Python bump morning in #Gentoo:
1. A project that couldn't be bothered to make a release with a security fix for 4 years finally made a release. Of course, if you make one release in 7 years, it is definitely a good idea to replace your build system with a broken #PythonPoetry #setuptools hybrid.
2. Another project made a release with a bunch of test failures — that were fixed in "master" branch already at the time, but I guess nobody bothered testing the release branch.
3. Just discovered that a bunch of projects are using pkg_resources namespaces again — and we were supposed to have gotten rid of them years ago! Of course it's #Google. And on top of that, since pkg_resources are now throwing deprecation warnings, they are indirectly breaking random other test suites.
On the positive side, test_lolwut is failing for me in redis-py.

#Python #packaging be like:
"Remember the totally random #PyTest plugin that died in 2018, that we forced you to add to #Gentoo, because we decided to start using it for no good reason? Well, we just stopped. Also, we just found a #NIH plugin that reinvents flaky test handling for the third time, enjoy!"
(Fortunately, it's compatible enough with pytest-rerunfailures, so we can ignore it.)

#PyYAML rejected #freethreading support. As a result, a new fork has been created with freethreading support. Given the fork's focus on freethreading, it supports only Python 3.13 . Given the lack of environment markers for freethreading (yet), packages end up depending on PyYAML-ft for >=3.13 (including non-freethreading builds), and PyYAML for <3.13.
Isn't #Python #packaging great?
#Gentoo
