I had an amazing experience working on FOSS projects in the sprints.
I made my first-ever contribution to @PyBeeWare in briefcase & briefcase-template repo, and got this coin with a handshake from @freakboy3742
Want to know what’s coming up for BeeWare in Q4 2022? We’ve just published our roadmap: beeware.org/news/buzz/2022q4…
Conda as a base isn’t an option (yet), so it’s a moot point; but we won’t adopt anything unless licensing terms are compatible with what is possible today. However, I’m expecting it will be more of a “conda as a package source” than needing to integrate conda itself.
Another new bee in the hive - Malcolm Smith! github.com/mhsmith Malcolm brings his considerable experience maintaining @chaquopy, which has been invaluable in improving BeeWare’s Android support. We’re incredibly excited to have him on the team!
Welcome a new bee to the hive - Russell Martin! github.com/rmartin16 Russell has been making huge contributions to Briefcase over the last few months. We’re incredibly excited to have him on the team!
If there’s a package you want for Android, open a ticket on the Chaquopy repository: github.com/chaquo/chaquopy/i… for iOS packages, open a ticket here: github.com/freakboy3742/chaq… These are temporary homes; we want to move to a “forge”-style community-managed model in the near future.
For a full list of the packages that are supported, see chaquo.com/pypi-7.0/ for Android, and anaconda.org/beeware/repo for the list of iOS packages.
Yeah - it’s a different use case. Briefcase is focussed on the “Desktop GUI app” use case, which also maps well to “Mobile app”; packaging a command-line tool has a very different set of requirements (not the least of which is “a single (binary) artefact”).
On mobile, the situation hasn’t changed that much; we’re expecting to start looking at “large scale navigation” widgets towards the end of this year. For now, the best option is to manually swap the top-level container widget in code. Not ideal, but it works.
