opal VS pants

I've been scratching my head over this as well. Been developing my app, Opal, and on F37 the icon at least appeared, but now it's completely black. I've tried changing the opacity and the background image, and it might have something to do with older gtk applications and image transparency, but I'm not sure yet.

That's a fun idea. Maybe I should add it as an easter egg to my relaxing (and open source) music player Opal

For what it's worth https://github.com/CodeDead/opal/tree/feature/drag-and-drop (the link in the bug report) returns HTTP 404 to me. Either you removed the repository since the bug was filed, or a permission issue prevents anyone else from seeing it.

Oh this is absolutely great. Going to use this for Opal

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say something like "older build systems"? I don't think any of the things you listed are "modern". Which isn't a criticism of their legacy! They have been very useful for a long time, and that's to be applauded. But they have huge problems, which is a big part of why newer systems have been created.

FWIW, I have been using pants[0] (v2) for a little under a year. We chose it after also evaluating it and bazel (but not nix, for better or worse). I think it's really really great! Also painful in some ways (as is inevitably the case with any software). And of course it's nearly impossible to entirely stomp out "genrules" use cases. But it's much easier to get much closer to true hermeticity, and I'm a big fan of that.

Does pants/bazel can help me?

Hyper-large tech companies managing hyper-large monorepos using Bazel (google), buck (Facebook), please (thought machine), pants (Twitter, Foursquare & Square) enjoy them but also have a lot of resources devoted to running and maintaining it.

Yeah there's definitely some alternatives out there. Pants is another one that has a lot of traction.

You should look into pex, or it’s parent build system pants. A PEX (Python EXecutable) file can package up all your code including dependencies and run on another machine of similar OS with just an available compatible interpreter.

We don't have the CD yet, but I think what I put in place counts as simple CI (even if incomplete)? Every push & PR trigger an azure pipeline, which runs pants. This install the dependencies from the lockfile, run some linters, uses DVC to pull the data necessary for tests, and run unit tests (mypy check is deactivated until I solve a weird error). Basically the same script runs on laptops cross-platform (one of us uses Max, one Ubuntu with GPU, one Ubuntu with CPU, the scripts runs on every platform). The only difference with CI is the installation of Pants and the gestion of Cache (needs to be downloaded in CI so it takes ~3min in CI versus 20 seconds on my laptop).

This has also been recently integrated in pants.
