I was not able to knock out https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex/issues/94 and I'll be OOO until next Thursday. @witty-crayon-22786 you should be able to release now though if you need to - you're a pex pypi maintainer. The process is described in https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex/blob/master/RELEASE.rst and the tracking issue is https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex/issues/704

is this releasable? i can get that started tonight.
h
Yes. Please include a note about reproducible builds. One sec for me to fire up computer and I’ll send something
a
i would argue that the checklist which has been checked off and the change that was merged to master just now is releasable

thanks!

John will likely want to do a 1.6.8 release to close out the checklist https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex/issues/704, but I think a 1.6.7 release is totally reasonable
Language about reproducible builds:
We now support building reproducible pex files, meaning that if you run
./pex -o
with the exact same inputs multiple times, the generated pexes will be byte-for-byte identical.
To opt into reproducible pex builds, use the flags
--no-compile
and
--no-use-system-time
when running
./pex -o
. In Pex 1.7.0, we will default to these being true.

@hundreds-father-404: you had put something on the ticket: do you want to edit that?
h
Oh I like the description in the ticket more! Please use that one
w
there have been... a lot of changes since 1.6.6.

hopefully that's all just stabilization post vendoring. but... we'll see!
h
Imo this probably should be 1.7.0
w
the docket said 1.6.7, and that was when john was aware of the reproducibility changes already... will stick to it.
h
Okay fair enough
w
(i'm sortof joking about the "lots of changes we'll see" thing: they do look like stability fixes.)
h
Well yeah I guess that makes sense actually with our plan for default behavior. 1.7.0 will be what does reproducibility by default. This is just to add the ability if you opt in
