A simple repo demonstrating how sources can be used to handle multiple packages.

• master-package - the main package we are bulding depending on package1 and package2
• package1 - another package we are building depending on package2
• package2 - another package we are building
• local-source - the folder for our artifacts

• In the master-package pyproject definition we add a source for the folder packages
• We also add 2 scripts to build package 1 and 2 and then also add a pre-hook on build and install to call them
• A local source/index is a wheel filled folder

Notes:

• git automatically detects binaries so .gitattributes should not be needed for the .whl
• git also handles well a few MBs so git-lfs is not needed for the .whl (those are not "large files at all")

• install PDM >= 2.22.3
• go into master-package and do pdm install which will build the packages and install master-package

• change version of package1 or package2
• pdm update

• find out if we can skip building the distro files and just use the folder
