The Splittening

This release contains a couple of big changes to help bring us closer to AerynOS. The project is now also PEP517 compatible, using the Hatch build system! This should make packaging ypkg easier, along with adding unit testing in the future.

CLI overhaul

As a consequence of making ypkg PEP517 compatible, there had to be significant changes to the CLI. In older versions, ypkg was a set of separate scripts that all called into the ypkg2 module. In short, that approach no longer really works. So, we now have a new CLI using Typer!

Macro file split

The macros that we use in packaging have been split out to separate files. Doing this makes it much easier to iterate on macros. Macros are organized largely by build system, e.g. cargo.yaml for Rust/Cargo macros, autotools.yaml for Autotools, etc. All the definition files are installed to a new directory: /usr/share/ypkg/macros, in the actions subdirectory. This also makes it easier to add your own macros! Just add a .yaml file in /usr/share/macros/actions with definitions matching the schema of the other files, and it will be loaded by ypkg.

New cbuild Cargo macros

A couple of new Cargo macros have been added to build Rust projects that offer a C-compatible ABI for their libraries. The macros are: %cargo_cbuild and %cargo_cinstall.

Full Changelog: v34...v35.0.0

v34

With this release, ypkg defaults to using eopkg.py3 for ypkg-install-deps, but can be made to use e.g. eopkg.bin when called from solbuild, which in turn serves to make builds more robust in the face of CPython 3.x interpreter upgrades.

What's Changed

• ypkg2: Replace old domain by @davidjharder in #95
• ypkg-install-deps: Add -e/--eopkg-cmd argument by @ermo in #96
