Upload to pypi

[spanezz]

The README.md lacks an "How to install Moncic-CI" section.

To write one, we should have at least one straightforward install procedure, like pip install moncic, for which we need to have Moncic-CI on PyPI, and a workflow to keep it up to date.

Is that something we can commit to doing, and if so, could you set it up, maybe with a PyPI account for ARPA-SIMC?

at least having a pip install . would be a good start, there must be a way you deploy this right now no? :)

In my development system, I fakeroot debian/rules binary, and in our production systems we'll do the equivalent for Fedora. I guess we ought to have something for more mainstream users.

@anarcat do you have a link to some documentation to get pip install . to work?

[spanezz]

I was about to say, I don't have pip set up in my system so I can't try it, but then I thought, this is Moncic-CI we're talking about, so:

$ monci shell -rw . fedora35
# dnf install pip
# pip install .

…and monci is available in $PATH.

Dependencies from setup.py don't seem to be automatically installed like that, though, so I still had to dnf install python3-pyyaml to make it work

that should have worked, i think it's because you use `requires` instead of `install_requires` in setup.py.

Thanks! I've added install_requires and now it works 🎉

I've updated the installation instructions in the README accordingly

Currently we don't have a PyPI account but I think we could add the upload to PyPI to our deploy pipeline, we'll discuss it internally.

Maybe you already know it, but you can install moncic-ci from the github repository without cloning it

$ python3 -mvenv env

# Install v0.1
$ env/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/arpa-simc/[email protected]

# Install main branch
$ env/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/arpa-simc/moncic-ci.git@main

# Install from requirements.txt
$ echo git+https://github.com/arpa-simc/[email protected] > requirements.txt
$ env/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

I have created a PyPI account (https://pypi.org/user/arpaesimc/). As soon as we have a new version of moncic-ci, I will publish it on PyPI and close this issue.
