Ending up going down a silly, little rat-hole today setting up a project to play with #py5
Seems like py5 won't play nice with #pdm It does, however, work fine with poetry. 🤔
I had been taking pdm for a test drive this month; but, at least for some graphics tinkering I will use poetry for dependency management. Unless I can figure out what the bug is between py5 & pdm. Yay!
Regarding my posts from the Permaculture Designers' Manual (#PDM) - so far only from the final chapter, the one least spoken or known about among online Permaculture communities, 'Strategies for an Alternative Nation' - they are not intended as shouts into the void.
They are intended to drum up practical conversation and trigger real action.
If you don't want to talk here, fine - go out, observe, learn, and most importantly, do (keeping within our agreed ethics).
To those of you who know the Permaculture Designers' Manual (#PDM) and not only the trendy side of Permaculture, might we please strike up a practical conversation?
Action is required.
Is the fediverse a useful tool in this?
Is it capable of helping re-form bioregional communities?
Or is it doomed to be yet another place where we all shout into the void and achieve nothing except rubbing our own (and sometimes others') ego's?
(...) all prepar(ing) for selfreliance and regional interdependence. As the problems are truly global, global concern and action will be needed.
(...) only group or community (bioregional) survival is meaningful and possible; individual survival is meaningless, as is survival in fortresses. Thus, we must plan for total regions, and include all skills of a global society."
I've marked #pdm-#pep517 package deprecated in #Gentoo. Some of the remaining revdeps have already been migrated away in their VCS repositories, one has pull request open, and I've filed pull requests to migrate the remaining three to pdm-backend:
#PDM decided to reinvent setuptools-scm, and it requires custom handling. Furthermore, it silently sets the version to "0.0.0" when it can't detect version which means trouble. Filed a bug for that as well:
