cargo-ebuild VS PDM

In Gentoo, Rust crates are just normal files to be downloaded in order to build a given package. The package pins (and checks the hashes of) the crate deps, and builds using cargo --offline. There is no serde/clap/etc packages, just ripgrep/librsvg/etc packages. There is no need to patch all packages to use the same serde crate version. Packaging a Rust program in gentoo is pretty much automatic.

Then, I went through like 3 different pages on gentoo and learned how to make my own rebuild using this... But after setting up my custom repo and making sure it had the right permissions, manifest, etc. the ebuild failed on account of not being able to find the Config.yoml file it needed, which exists in the directory I built the ebuild from. I think I am just SOL on this, and will have to probably find a different approach

FWIW it's worth for portage (Gentoo) there is g-sorcery[0], which can create ebuilds for Emacs (m/elpa) and python packages automatically. Similarly there is also cargo-ebuild[1] which can create ebuilds for rust programs/libraries, including a list of all dependencies with hashes.

I've successfully used cargo-ebuild in the past to create ebuilds automatically, it's a breeze. I'd be surprised if similar tools didn't exist for deb/rpm based distros.

I'm working on a custom repository where I intend to write ebuild files for packages that's not supported by Gentoo's repository. Right now, I'm trying to write an ebuild file for xplr, which is a Rust project that uses the Cargo build system. Initially, I used the cargo-ebuild tool, which generated the file xplr-0.14.3.ebuild.

Maybe you already know, but specifically for making Rust ebuilds and filling the CRATES variable there's a tool cargo-ebuild to automatically extract that from Cargo.toml.

I have zero issues with Gentoo's Rust and Rust-using packages. I use rustup's Rust and cargo install for development, and maintain a gentoo package using cargo ebuild.

PDM is a solution that allows for easy creation and management of python projects. Some of the key features that will improve the management of python projects include:

You'd need a proper dependencies management tool like PDM or Poetry to exhaustively resolve and lock down all the transitive dependencies if you want to have anything closed to reproducible build.

Are you working on a Python project that uses pdm for dependency management and dotenv for local environment variable and secrets management? Do you find it frustrating when CLI tools like pgcli don't automatically pick up your .env file, forcing you to resort to npm install -g dotenv-cli? I've got a more convenient solution for you!

I first learned about PDM from a blog post written by one of the PDM contributers. The post was about OOPifying argparse to allow for easy creation/modification of subcommands that exist as their own classes/files, and to avoid maintaining a single long script with an endless number of subparser.add_argument(...) lines.

That's more or less what PEP 582 plans to do, but it's been stalled and mired in discussions for years. The PDM tool went ahead and implemented it though if you want to use it: https://github.com/pdm-project/pdm

I'm liking PDM for a while now. Quicker than Poetry and built according to the Python package spec in mind and not as an afterthought. While it was originally meant to work with PEP 582, it works with virtual environments too (now default).
