is it feasible to get rid of rust dependency?
it makes building levior hard on

on pinebook gentoo it's not hard anymore, it's impossible as well, since some point rust is not possible to build on it.

@norayr Hello :) There is no direct dependency on rust. But it's possible that one of the dependencies depends on something that requires rust, and if you're building on a platform that has a python wheel available from pypi, then it fetches it from pypi and you don't need rust ...
I'll try to find which dependency (indirectly) requires rust.
😺 gemalaya [mod] · May 27 at 18:01:
I've looked at the dependency tree but ... If you have the build error log then you must see which package fails when looking for rust ?
😺 gemalaya [mod] · May 27 at 19:04:
I think it's the cryptography package which requires rust-bin to build. aiogemini requires "cryptography". I found a comment on stackoverflow that suggests that cryptography < 35.0 can be built without rust by setting CRYPTOGRAPHY_DONT_BUILD_RUST=1. However cryptography 35.0 is an almost 3 years old release so ...
Can you try adding "cryptography==3.4.8" in pyproject.toml's "dependencies" array and try to build with this command ?
CRYPTOGRAPHY_DONT_BUILD_RUST=1 pip install .
aiogemini's dependency spec for cryptography is ">= 3.2,< 42.0" so that could work.

Weird cause, i installed levior on a rpi3+, aarch64, and i didn't have any issues, works fine.

Also, be sure to run "pip install -U pip", that could be the issue. I see that there are aarch64 wheels for "cryptography" so building on aarch64 without rust is definitely possible.

Why can't people just write god-damned C code? Only half joking :)

it works, i was able to build it, thank you!

@norayr Nice ! No issues with TLS connections ?
😺 gemalaya [mod] · May 28 at 09:44:
I'll try to provide an appimage for aarch64 as well.
😺 gemalaya [mod] · May 28 at 10:17:
Actually there's no aarch64 dist for python-appimage so that's a problem ...

For now I'll just add a section in the README to explain how to build it on aarch64.
🐙 norayr [OP] · May 29 at 00:28:
thank you, but for me, sincerely, don't bother. i prefer to build software myself, appimages feel like black boxes.
🐙 norayr [OP] · May 29 at 00:30:
also yes, i think no issues. it works well. thank you!
