PyPI package: vspec2binary.py and vspec2ttl.py missing #298

Closed d-s-e closed 1 year ago

d-s-e commented 1 year ago

In the released PyPI package the tools vspec2binary.py andvspec2ttl.py are missing. Is there a reason for this?

SebastianSchildt commented 1 year ago

vspec2binary needs some natively compiled part, and we have not set up a pipeline to provide builds for all the architectures supported by PyPi, therefore it includes Python-only (i.e. we only create "none"-architecture wheel)

The argument for vspec2ttl IIRC was that it is only contrib currently, and there have been "changes around the corner" vor vsso that would require the tool to be modified, but maybe somebody from vsso community can elaborate further. Compared to vspec2binary, technically speaking it would be easier to package vspec2ttl as I believe it is Python only

Ok, thanks. I'm currently packaging vss-tools for our distribution and using the the PyPI package is the easiest way to do this. So I'm wondering if it's necessary to have those two tools included, or if they are only used for some edge cases.

I think it is a fair approach that you use the pypi package, and for now assume that your users does not need the binary tool or the contrib tools (currently only vspec2ttl).

Sounds reasonable, so I'll stay with my current approach. Thanks!
