This commit represents a significant overhaul of the development and
setup processes for the Quackscape project. Key changes include the
transition from a requirements.txt-based dependency management system to
Poetry.
These updates aim to streamline the setup process
- Transitioned to Poetry for improved dependency resolution and package
management.
- Consolidated Django management commands under the quackscape-manage
script to simplify command execution and project management.
- Updated README.md to reflect the new setup procedures, emphasizing
ease of setup and the flexibility to support multiple database backends.
The shift to Poetry and the introduction of a custom management command
tool reflects an effort to modernize the project's infrastructure,
making it more accessible to contributors and easier to maintain.
Introduced an MIT LICENSE file for open sourcing the project, ensuring
that users are aware of their rights to use, modify, and distribute the
software. This change underlines our commitment to the open source
community and clarifies usage terms.
Updated the README.md with detailed development setup instructions,
making it easier for new contributors to get started with the project.
The amendments include steps from cloning the repository to starting the
development server, highlighting mandatory installations and
configurations for a smooth setup.
Adjusted settings.py and settings.dist.ini for better clarity and
customization. Simplifications in settings.py improve code readability
and maintainability. The addition of settings.dist.ini allows users to
easily configure their development and production environments per their
needs without altering core configuration files.
These enhancements aim to simplify the contribution process, foster
community involvement, and ensure a transparent and flexible setup for
developers engaging with the project.
