Tools for Maintaining an Open Source Project
summary
Practical takeaways and concrete setups rather than platitudes: piwheels automates building Raspberry Pi compatible Python packages and gpio0 is used as a running example, both deployed and serving users; packaging via setup.py and PyPI plus virtual environments prevent hidden dependencies; Makefile centralizes install and test commands so contributors run one command; tests use pytest, tox and coverage and run locally then in CI; GitHub Actions runs tests and linters on every pull request, catching regressions before merge.
