After seeing yet another dozen packages lose keywords on Gentoo because of a single key dependency switching to uv-build, I would like to plea on behalf of Gentoo users: please don’t use uv-build as a build backend.
Just to be clear, this is not about uv itself or any other Astral tools; these are good tools with a nice and responsive upstream. The uv-build backend is one thing we have to disagree on. I’m not saying it’s bad; I’m saying that its benefits don’t outweigh the drawbacks.
That depends. Am I buying the SSD last year, or today?
The RAMpocalypse is going to make “this doesn’t run on a low-powered low-capacity device” a much more relevant issue.
1.5MiB wasn’t much 20 years ago, even with a rampocalypse that’s not changing soon.
