> Gentoo can't second guess you

gentoo appears to support exactly 7 versions of uv-build, a list they update by hand: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/dev-python/uv...

git changelog of uv-build in the gentoo package manager: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/log/dev-python/uv-...

gentoo also wrap python packages in their own package manager, packages in this tree appear to come from their upstream version control system eg Github, not PyPI.

just because someone on hn said something, doesn't make it true.
