Tags and releases

[alexxy]

Hi! I want to add this package for gentoo linux (as well as update for prusaslicer 2.7-alpha). But it seems i can only add live build for this repo, since it doesnt have any tags/releases.

So can you add tag corresponding to version that builds with alpha of prusaslicer, since its mandatory dependency for it.

This is somewhat related to the Octoprint plugin which would like to add bgcode support to it. Will there be releases/builds of the library somewhere i.e. in PyPi?

[alexxy]

No, its not related to Octoprint, but it will be good to have

I meant it the other way around, sorry. The octoprint problem is also somewhat depending on having releases/tags to build a useful plugin.

Also its actual problem for packagers, since prusa-slicer 2.7.0 released and it depend on this library

Best would be to have this tagged and released on pypi, ideally not only as source but as wheels for x86, armv6 & armv7. That way it won't have to be compiled on every single thing depending on it.

I would also like to stress the importance of wheel releases on pypi. As it stands now, every plugin update in the OctoPrint plugin requires rebuilding the library, which on a pi 4 has reported to take upwards of 12 minutes.

So. What about adding release tags for this repo?

I'm looking to package PrusaSlicer 2.8.1 for void linux, which depends on this library. If this repo is not ready for a 1.0, can we at least get a 0.* release so it can be packaged for distros that require versioned releases?

Same issue when packaging this for GNU guix.

@MichaIng and I worked through the pypi build and release process for this to work. I'm easily able to update the OctoPrint plugin to use this random name (I didn't take pybgcode name in case @prusa3d decides to do this themselves), but not sure what you guys would have to do for your projects.
