I suspect the PyQt maintainer uploaded a new wheel and yanked the old
one, which made pip fall back on a source install which failed. If that's
the case, he really should have used a new version number, as this makes
building/bisecting older releases more cumbersome.
All platforms:
- rename scripts/ to tools/: Bazelisk expects to find its wrapper script
(used by the Mac changes below) in tools/. Rather than have a separate
scripts/ and tools/, it's simpler to just move everything into tools/.
- wheel outputs and binary bundles now go into .bazel/out/dist. While
not technically Bazel build products, doing it this way ensures they get
cleaned up when 'bazel clean' is run, and it keeps them out of the source
folder.
- update to the latest Bazel
Windows changes:
- bazel.bat has been removed, and tools\setup-env.bat has been added.
Other scripts like .\run.bat will automatically call it to set up the
environment.
- because Bazel is now on the path, you can 'bazel test ...' from any
folder, instead of having to do \anki\bazel.
- the bat files can handle being called from any working directory,
so things like running "\anki\tools\python" from c:\ will work.
- build installer as part of bundling process
Mac changes:
- `arch -arch x86_64 bazel ...` will now automatically use a different
build root, so that it is cheap to switch back and forth between archs
on a new Mac.
- tools/run-qt* will now automatically use Rosetta
- disable jemalloc in Mac x86 build for now, as it won't build under
Rosetta (perhaps due to its build scripts using $host_cpu instead of
$target_cpu)
- create app bundle as part of bundling process
Linux changes:
- remove arm64 orjson workaround in Linux bundle, as without a
readily-available, relatively distro-agonstic PyQt/Qt build
we can use, the arm64 Linux bundle is of very limited usefulness.
- update Docker files for release build
- include fcitx5 in both the qt5 and qt6 bundles
- create tarballs as part of the bundling process
- The way mypy gathers site packages has changed slightly, so we had to
update extendsitepkgs.py to work with it.
- Not sure if there's a way to avoid the ignore in
operations/__init__.py. mypy is still ensuring a provided argument has
a .changes attribute, so thankfully we don't seem to have lost much here.
It's a tiny library that has not been updated in years, and it was
leading to a warning on startup:
DeprecationWarning: invalid escape sequence \W
return re.sub("\W+", "", string)
You can then do './scripts/python -m venv /path/to/venv' to create
a virtual env based on the bundled Python, which can be handy if
you don't happen to have the appropriate version of Python installed
separately.
