Cassandra is only carbon nowWe did it! Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen!
pyreading, a set of Python packages used by Arcalibre, now builds on Linux and Windows AMD64 *and* on macOS Apple Silicon.
The Codeberg Packages feed for the repo still only has Linux glibc x86_64 wheels, but with all three CI systems up and running, I hope to expand that to publish dev builds for a much wider variety of systems.
That then means that things like icy_you, charminder, and pydofo, all of which provide static wrappers commonly used native libraries with little to no runtime requirements, should soon be available to use cross-platform.
Asta [AMP]@xgranade the amount of work you (and others) have done on this is amazing. I can't wait to start using Arcalibre!
@aud Thank you! It's still a long way off towards beta builds, but this all has been extremely helpful in removing native code from the Arcalibre code base and isolating it into packages that can be built, published, and versioned independently. The more we can do that, the easier it is to work on Arcalibre itself.
One of the biggest obstacles right now is that Arcalibre does not use a standard Python build at *all* (and for sensible reasons), so standing up the build is hard af.
