Sorry if my initial post was a bit too much of a vent - right now, it just feels like a lot of the scripts are falling apart at once, and it's getting a bit frustrating.
For #246, if --content-disposition
isn't enough to get wget
to use the filename provided in the Content-Disposition
header, adding the --trust-server-names
option may help. You could also (instead) take the same approach for the cardsets as you do for the MacOS Python runtime, specifying the filename with -O
.

That worked. For now.
I also noticed the PyGame issue seems to have stopped, for the moment at least. The workarounds for the remaining issues are in place, so the release is no longer blocked.
But we'll still need a proper fix for the remaining items.
So these are the items from this list that are still an issue:
The first two of these items need to be resolved for me to be comfortable calling any future releases stable. Number three is less important, but will simplify the release process a lot.
Should update to Python 3.12 now. Need to confirm there aren't any regressions.
@jnumm Don't know if you're still around or would know anything that might help with this?
So there was an update on the Pillow front. Apparently, the 32-bit wheels were recreated for Windows, so that is no longer an issue.
But now AppVeyor's environment updated and the make script is unable to find the xgettext command. I set it to use the previous environment, which works for now. But this will likely only work until the next update. I tried manually installing gettext, among other things. No luck.
Does anyone know if any of the version updates described in https://www.appveyor.com/updates/2024/06/13/ could affect gettext?
The release scripts have been causing some significant trouble lately.
I've been doing what I can to keep them running, but unfortunately, environment configuration has never been a strong suit of mine. I've had to use several hacks just to keep them working. On more than one occasion, this led to some partially broken builds, and while I've been able to get them somewhat stable for the moment, I'm reaching a point where the number of workarounds and occasional issues is starting to add up to the point where I fear I might eventually be unable to do any more releases.
Here are the recent issues that I'm aware of:
Pillow 10.0.0 created a compatibility issue. I resolved it, but it's going to need a release, as I already had a couple people bring it up. I don't feel comfortable even offering a beta 2.21 release with the current scripts. At least if I can get PyGame running right, I could make do with the workarounds on the other items for a 2.21, and we can do a 2.22 (or 3.0) release later with better packages. But for now, I can't really keep these scripts going as-is.
