This is a script to repack the package cache used by pipx tests to minimize space use.

The procedure:

1. Run nox -e refresh_packages_cache to create the initial cache.

2. Build wheels for all sdists, except for:

   • shell-functools-*.tar.gz

   Basically, unpack .tar.gz, python -m build -w, move the wheel back into the cache directory.

3. Remove all wheels for pip, setuptools and wheel (but be careful not to remove setuptools_scm-*.whl).

4. Run the script to create the shim directory, e.g.:

   ./pipx-repack.wheels /tmp/pipx/.pipx_tests/package_cache /tmp/pipx-1.6.0-test-shim

5. Add the remaining sdists (as listed above) and repack them manually (ideally you can just copy the file from the earlier shim version).

6. tar -cf pipx-1.6.0-test-shim.tar pipx-1.6.0-test-shim

   It's a good idea to test it now (put it in DISTDIR, remove .xz from ebuild, update version).

7. xz -9e pipx-1.6.0-test-shim.tar and voilà!
