09/03/2015, 6:09 AMI really want to avoid pex for distribution of pants - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:09 AMoh really - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:09 AMwhy? - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:09 AMwe run into x-platform support issues - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:09 AMwhich ones do we support? - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:09 AMnot an isue with venv based - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:10 AMit builds on their machine as need be - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:10 AMwhat if they built the pex tho - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:10 AMthats fine - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:10 AMbut then the point of the pex is sort of gone - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:10 AMi.e. the build would be on them, but it would produce a pex - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:11 AMwhich is they don;t have to build - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:11 AMeh, I dunno. pex generally seems a lot nicer/cleaner than venv to me - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:11 AMmuch harder to mutate something in a zip than on disk w/ normal tooling to access it - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:11 AMagreed - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:11 AMbut right now its 1 venv per pants version / plugin set off in .cache/pants/setup - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:12 AMso its unlikely to be messed with - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:12 AMI certainly welcome other people working on this! - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:12 AMThat's my criteria though - no supporting OS X, linux, ... - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:12 AMwe have been discussing internally how to improve our releases - right now we have all sorts of release issues with OSS vs pants_internal - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:13 AMand sha matching - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:13 AMetc - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:13 AMso we want to move pants_internal into the monorepo and run the plugins as source, but to build their deps and pants as a pex - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:13 AMor at least thats where conversations have been leaning - so entirely possible a couple of us may at least prototype some pex-based solutions - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:14 AMimo at least a good experiment - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:14 AMyou could do this today - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:14 AMhas anyone burned the crazy crazy crazy pants_internal scripts to the ground yet? - r
rough-minister-58256
09/03/2015, 6:14 AMhmm, not sure which are the crazy^3 ones but its pretty bad right now - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/03/2015, 6:14 AMwe had new contribs on pants 1.5 years ago that really wanted to run - as twitter pants devs - from live sources
