Appendix

these are comments for using uv and uvx.... this is new stuff

Workflow

• ./distcheck.sh (no pip3 inside)
  • if twine{.verbatim} not present, uv tool install --force twine
  • same with uv tool install --force bump2version
• uv tool install --upgrade cronvice and if hidden errors:
  • uv tool install --upgrade cronvice==0.1.31 force to reveal
• NEVERTHELESS, environment is needed
  • make ~/.venv
  • cd ~/.venv
  • uv venv myservicenv and it is in this user folder.
  • ANY USE NEEDS source ~/.venv/myservicenv/bin/activate
  • All stuff needs to be installed via uv: like uv pip install fire
  • When all is installed, source ...activate is run before python call
    • which works for tele01 that calls te01.py
    • that has normal shebang
• PROBLEM for influx_chrony
  • no idea now...
• NO PROBLEM telegrf, only telegraf needs to get installed
