These are some loose notes about packing Papis meant to highlight the different components that are available and not to require a particular format.
See pyproject.toml for a complete list of dependencies and minimum versions.
Papis uses the standard pyproject.toml-based format using setuptools as a
build backend. Wheels can be generated using
python -m build --wheel --skip-dependency-check .
A source distribution (sdist) can be build together with the wheel using just
python -m build --skip-dependency-check .
Papis documentation uses Sphinx, which can also generate man pages. By default, we create man pages for all the standard Papis commands and some general documentation for the configuration file. These can be generated using
make -C doc man
The resulting man pages can then be found in doc/build/man and should be installed
in appropriate locations.
Papis uses click for its command-line parsing. To generate completions, use
_PAPIS_COMPLETE=bash_source papis
_PAPIS_COMPLETE=fish_source papis
_PAPIS_COMPLETE=zsh_source papis
Note that the generated completion files are not static and can pick up any custom Papis commands and plugins even after installation.
There is a desktop file in contrib/papis.desktop.
