random notes on deken
=====================
# easywebdav (and easywebdav2)
To upload packages to puredata.info, we utilize the `easywebdav` python package.
## easywebdav (Py2; Debian packages)
Unfortunately this package seems to be somewhat unmaintained, and is currently
not ready for Python3 (although it works fine with Python2).
If you are running a Debian based Linux distribution and use the package
manager (apt) to satisfy the deken requirements, then easywebdav has already
been fixed for Python3.
If you are using `virtualenv` to provide the requirements (the deken-script
internally will setup a virtualenv environment), then you should either stay
with Python2 or switch to easywebdav2 (see below).
## easywebdav2 (Py2+Py3)
There is a fork named `easywebdav2` which runs on Py3 (and Py2), but (as of
version 1.3.0) unfortunately has another bug which breaks the `mkdirs` command on
the server.
The fix is simple (but requires patching of the package sources):
~~~diff

# Windows Standalone Executable
you can build a standalone executable with the following steps:
~~~bash
$ cd deken/development/
$ pip install pyinstaller
$ pyinstaller deken.spec
~~~
This will give you something like `deken/development/dist/deken.exe`
(The standalone installer can be created on macOS and Linux as well)
When creating a standalone executable, an attempt is made to automatically fix
the 'easywebdav2' package.
# Recommended backend
You may see the error:
`No recommended backend was available. Install the keyrings.alt package if you want to use the non-recommended backends. See README.rst for details.`
This should be safe to ignore.
