Haven’t looked into this just yet, but checking if anyone else has given any thought to this. Does the Pants GH action need to update any caches if moving to

scie-pants

? I’m assuming we don’t want to download the same pinterpreter if the

scie-pants

version hasn’t changed?

Whelp, that answers my question 🙂

Yeah, I don't think a comprehensive think through was had when starting the acceleration campaign a few days ago. I'll need folks to step up and knock off issues. I had been plodding along and don't think others had paged in scope.

relatedly: this would go a long way toward making

scie-pants

easier to use in CI, since the curl-bash approach is more questionable there

The curl-bash we foisted upon ourselves though. My intention was get-pants.sh was checked into repos because we had not-Asher users say in slack they liked this feature for on-boarding. No curl, right there in the repo. The get-pants.sh name was used to convey you just need to run this once and to not start with p so pa<tab> did the right thing.

yea. i’d posit though that curl-bash might absolutely be the right thing for desktop usage, while being the wrong thing for CI usage.

But curl aside, I wrote that issue prior. I think integration was always needed regardless. After all

./pants

has been checked in forever.

yea
