release-plz VS leftwm

My problem with maintaining a changelog during development is it can serve as a source of merge conflicts. Instead, I follow Covnentional Commit style and manually write my changelog entries based on the commits. I have a tool [0] that can show me the relevant commits for a package in my repo and automates the entire release process, including doing sanity checks.

I also feel like releasing from CI is hard, especially if you have multiple packages in a repo [1], including

- You can't as easily introspect the process

- You can't as easily recover from failure

- Getting a lot of the nuance right, like handling releases concurrent to merging of PRs, is difficult

- When the workflow is an ever-present "release PR" that you merge when ready has issues with selecting which packages to release and at what version

I have been considering making a tool to generate changelogs from fragments. Been keeping notes at https://github.com/epage/epage.github.io/issues/23

Hi 👋 I maintain release-plz, a project enabling maintainers to release Rust packages automatically.

How does this tool differ from release-plz?: https://github.com/marcoIeni/release-plz

Nice, very simple. I like it! You might also want to check out my project: https://github.com/MarcoIeni/release-plz

(Also I wouldn't mind if you want to contribute to leftwm ;))

LeftWM if you are adventurous and want to support more Rust projects on Linux.

I'm using a tiling window manager (LeftWM) and picom with experimental backends for compositing. I'm running into issues configuring picom for use on my laptop when I am on battery power. Two problems arise:

I've looked at these: - DWM: A popular, compact WM written in C - LeftWM: A popular, configurable WM written in Rust - GabelstaplerWM: An obscure, compact WM written in Rust - XCB DWM: An abandoned rewrite of DWM using XCB

Been using and liking LeftWM: https://github.com/leftwm/leftwm

In particular, I think that "ultrawide-vertical-stack" (based on "CenterMain" from LeftWM) is quite close to what you are looking for. Give it a try with komorebic change-layout ultrawide-vertical-stack!

Once again I'm happy to answer any questions, and I want to give a special thanks to nog, leftwm and umberwm, whose work this project borrows from and builds upon.
