TLDR: This script now answers the question “Do some of my openSUSE packages have newer versions in other distros?” As a following on previous post, I added an useful feature in order to have more information about a package. Since I maintain some openSUSE packages, I want to be informed if they gets outdated and if other packagers have released newer versions. ...
being lazy, I made a small utility to check last pkgs update date on Open Build Service. You can find the project repository on my github, but it’s so simple I can paste also here. The usage is pretty simple: just run the command giving it a package name, and then it will tell you when it was last updated. With this information, you can decide/check if the package needs some work on! ...
In this post we are going to write a new module for python: a very simple function exported from Rust that we can consume in the Python interpreter. We’ll leverage the PyO3 Rust bindings for the Python interpreter. Let’s start with a new Cargo project: $ cargo init --lib demo_rust_lib and insert the required settings in Cargo.toml: [package] name = "rusty" version = "0.1.0" edition = "2021" [lib] name="rusty" crate-type = ["cdylib"] [dependencies....
Let’s get our feet wet; in this first part I’ll write about a very simple way to interface Rust and Python. First of all let’s build a Rust dynamic library with some basic functions. // this file is: src/lib.rs #[no_mangle] pub extern "C" fn hello() { println!("Hello from the library!"); } #[no_mangle] pub extern "C" fn sum(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 { a + b } your Cargo.toml should look like this:...
