So now that #awscli 1.x is pretty much dead, I've finally gotten around to packaging 2.x properly for #Gentoo. You know, the one where other developers claimed it was impossible to build from source because (checks notes) upstream said so. So we instead must use their horrible 70M binary package that bundles its own Python interpreter along with all the random libraries and dependencies.
And guess what? Sure, they don't publish it to PyPI anymore, but it still is a regular #Python package branched out from 1.x. It has regular Python package dependencies, a regular Python build backend and when you build it with it, you get a regular Python wheel that can be installed and just works with the system Python and system dependencies.
Sure, it's crap, but it's no worse than the 1.x crap. It bundles a modified fork of the unreleased 2.x branch of botocore (now dead for 5 years, apparently) and a fork of s3transfer. It has some random meaningless dependency pins that we patch out. It has a horrible test suite that can eat tons of memory if run via xdist, but with some hackery, I've gotten it to work reasonably.
Honestly, I feel like Gentoo developers these days just don't care to even try.
