I think the answer is to not have a flavour du jour. Pick one, crown it the winner, document it well and give it some time. If the solution is always changing, nobody is going to want to put the effort in.
- oivey 2y agoThis is really a great idea. Once we finalize the choice, when can we expect the upload into the hivemind?
- Joker_vD 2y agoRight after the maintainers of libtelepathy.so release the version with Discord support.

- kergonath 2y agoThis is exactly our problem. We develop a couple of packages (which we don’t put on PyPI so any security issue is affects nobody except us). But it’s not our job and we cannot justify someone spending too much time on this. I have a look every now and then to try to figure out what we’re supposed to do, but there are 154 solutions, some of them are outdated and unmaintained, some of them are broken in more or less subtle ways, and some of them have a bare minimum of documentation. So yeah. We’ll change when we have a clear, documented path forward.
- Joker_vD 2y agoJust put your package folder into a tarball as-is; to install, execute tar xzf our_custom_package.tar.gz -C "$(python3 -c 'import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_path("platlib"))')" I'm only half-joking.
