Here's a CI run with the current tox config: https://github.com/offbyone/webassets/actions/runs/11026671771

I believe that readthedocs will still build this as-is, but I'm not 100% sure; it'd be nice to set up PR-based builds for RTD if you haven't and we can see if those work.

Hey Chris. What do you think about my proposal in #555?

[offbyone]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the relationship between the two, but I believe that this library is a dependency of the Pelican plugin; in order to get that plugin to work, this update needed to happen.

I'd be up for a "courteous fork" under a new name, or potentially to vendor this code into the Pelican plugin, but I'm not sure that it can be directly folded in. I think this code is where the meat of the pelican-plugin-webassets logic lives.

That's why I'm using my own forks of them here

[justinmayer]

If that is the case, my vote would be for vendoring the needed code into the aforementioned Pelican plugin repository.

[offbyone]

I'm fine with that.

[justinmayer]

If you (or anyone else for that matter) would like to submit PRs to that effect, I’d be happy to merge them post-haste, as well as make sure you have the requisite commit bit for that repo if you don’t already 😊

@greyli can we get this merged and also update Flask-Assets?

This PR looks good to me. But I don't have the release permission for this project.

@miracle2k Can you grant me the permission on PyPI for this project? My PyPI username is greyli.

@greyli I partially lost access to my pypi account actually, trying to work it out: pypi/support#6651
