Ongoing Development

• Extend topics/domains:
  • Create ruff domain in qa topic
  • Create webpack domain in js topic
  • Create jest domain in js topic
  • Create yarn domain in js topic
  • Create nvm domain in js topic
• Implement custom template generation configured via mx.ini
• Complete docs
• Add help targets
• Support some kind of "proxy" targets. They should use the environment of the main package and call make in sources/[package] if configured in mx.ini
• Support update flag in mxmake command, updating the Makefile without prompting for settings
• Support "preseeds" for running mxmake init
• Support useful basic mx.ini file configuration when running mxmake init
• Environment path improvements. Modify PATH instead of working with MXENV
• Support usage of uv (https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) as substitute for pip and for creating virtual environments PR uv runs on mxmmake #25
• Try if mxmake works on windows when using git bash try to run with git-bash on windows #29
• Replace topics.py deprecated use from pkg_resources import iter_entry_points with importlib https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.metadata.html#entry-points PR use importlib.metadata to load entrypoints #28
• enhance to not depend only on root Makefile but also on includes.
• core.sources depends on core.files
• adding core.sources to an existing Makefile breaks unless make clean called
• OS environment variable is available only on windows. The way it is used causes problems with sub make calls on linux. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/714100/os-detecting-makefile
• remove wtr coverage directory on make clean

Although PATH handling is already implemented, I'm not entirely happy with the solution.

I want to try removing .ONESHELL and invoking the shell as follows:

SHELL=env PATH=$(if $(EXTRA_PATH),"$(EXTRA_PATH):","")$(PATH) bash

If this or something similar works as expected we can avoid exporting PATH at multiple places.

AFAIK you talked to Richard and conclusio was this is not necessary right?

@jensens right, this comment is obsolete
