05/23/2025, 12:05 PMDo we use the tools we have listed in 3rdparty/tools in our own repo? I'm digging around, and a bunch of the tools I see in scripts expect system binaries, where we have tool equivalents. The problem being, the tool equivalents are mostly all woefully out of date.

Iirc act and gh were added as part of the auto cherry picker work.

05/24/2025, 5:53 AMI think having the repo package ”system” binaries used for internal dev tasks seems pretty reasonable to me, updates not withstanding: if the list of things to install is just scie-pants, and everything else is automatically installed when required, and pinned to known-good versions, seems like much less “works on my machine” and easier for contributors to get started too
