If you still think that distribution #packaging is not necessary and upstreams should be doing that, let me remind that you that downstream packagers are the ones who report that your latest release doesn't include the changes from your latest release:
Michał Górny 
mastodon 4.7.3If I were to describe myself in two sentences: 1) I'm a #cat (the 3 cats I adopted can confirm), 2) given N choices, I'll choose (N+1)th option.
#Gentoo developer, est. 2010. Maintaining #Python packages, #LLVM, #Xfce. #OpenSource enthusiast and developer.
#CarFree person. Enjoying #rail travels and #nature, frequent visitor everywhere around #Poznań, #Leszno, #Głogów and #Wrocław.
#AntiCapitalism. Expect random rants and silly humor.
"Some individuals [in honeybees and ants], referred to by entomologists as the elites, are unusually active, perform more than their share of lifetime work, and incite others to work through facilitation." (from E.O. Wilson "Sociobiology: The New Synthesis")
It seems that insect elites are the opposite of human elites.
FYI, I'm moving over to @mgorny@social.treehouse.systems
Hopefully, everything will work fine and all my followers will be transitioned.
I've just released #pycargoebuild 0.8 and pushed it to #Gentoo.
The killer feature in this version is support for GIT_CRATES. Please test and let me know how it works for you (yeah, I know you can't because of workspace package data, sigh, that's coming up next).
It took some effort but it can guess the fancy paths for GIT_CRATES, remove the variable if it's stale or add one if it's missing.
I've just made a second #pycargoebuild release today, and exhausted the planned feature list.
The main addition is configuration file support that notably makes it possible to install per-crate license overrides and add local license mappings. It also fixes missing simplification for package's LICENSE.
Socialism: everyone is equal and deserves to eat
Christian socialism: we are better than you but have some scraps
If you think mosquitoes or perhaps horse flies are the worst, try being regularly bitten by ants. They always get under the clothes and it usually itches for a few days.
"This one's a female. We can't ride her."
(from Final Fantasy V, about Chocobos, what did you think?!)
#pycargoebuild 0.9 is out and in #Gentoo.
This release features support for package metadata inherited from workspaces. It also is more lenient about missing/custom licenses.
Thanks to CyberTailor for helping out with metadata support!
Sometimes I'm thinking that OTD #medicine should be much more restricted (at least in countries with free health care). Its abuse is a serious problem in modern society. The worst part is that parents are treating their children with random drugs irresponsibly, and that could permanent damage to their health!
"Fox (1972), following Lévi-Strauss (1949), has argued from ethnographic evidence that a key early step in human social evolution was the use of women in barter. As males acquired status through the control of females, they used them as objects of exchange to cement alliances and bolster kinship networks. Proliterate societies are characterized by complex rules of marriage that can often be interpreted directly as power brokerage." (from E.O. Wilson, "Sociobiology: The New Synthesis")
