SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill ensures that the versioned Python proto generator tarball is rebuilt and published whenever sources under packages/proto-python-gen/ or edits to scripts/pip-config.sh occur, preventing downstream consumers from using stale code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rebuild and package the proto-python-gen tarball whenever the relevant sources change.
  • Enforce version bumps and ensure the new tarball proto-python-gen-<version>.tar.gz is staged for commit.
  • Use case: maintainers update the Python generator and rely on Hermit to consume the updated tarball without breaking builds.

Quick Start

Run the packaging workflow to rebuild and commit the updated proto-python-gen tarball.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate rebuilding a Python proto generator tarball when sources change?▼

Automating proto generator tarball rebuilds involves enforcing version bumps in the justfile and running just package to create proto-python-gen-<version>.tar.gz, staging the updated tarball for commit to prevent downstream consumers from using stale code.

Why do downstream environments use stale Python proto generator code after source updates?▼

Downstream environments use stale Python proto generator code because the versioned tarball was not rebuilt and staged for commit. You must execute the packaging workflow to generate the updated proto-python-gen-<version>.tar.gz whenever sources under packages/proto-python-gen/ change.

What is the best way to enforce version bumps for Python proto packaging?▼

Enforcing version bumps for Python proto packaging requires updating the justfile located in packages/proto-python-gen/ before running just package, ensuring the generated tarball reflects the new version and is properly staged for commit.

How do I package a Python proto generator tarball using just?▼

Packaging a Python proto generator tarball using just requires executing the just package command after modifying sources, which creates the proto-python-gen-<version>.tar.gz file and stages it for commit while scanning for hard-coded references.

When do I need to rebuild the proto-python-gen tarball?▼

You need to rebuild the proto-python-gen tarball whenever modifications occur under packages/proto-python-gen/ or scripts/pip-config.sh, ensuring downstream Hermit environments consume the updated generator without breaking builds.

Does the proto-python-gen packaging workflow scan for hard-coded references?▼

Yes, the proto-python-gen packaging workflow scans for hard-coded references while staging the newly built proto-python-gen-<version>.tar.gz for commit, ensuring version consistency across the downstream environments consuming the updated generator.
