Building your own build backend for Pixi
Normally, development tooling and package publishing live in separate worlds: you use one workflow to build and test your software locally, and a completely different one to publish it. Wouldn't it be great to use the same manifest that describes your project environment to also define how the package is built, versioned, and released?

Using Pixi as a System Package Manager with Shortcuts and Completions
Pixi Global can be used for much more than just downloading and exposing CLI tools. In this blog post, we demonstrate two capabilities of pixi global which are core to making it a featureful and powerful system package manager: shortcuts, and (auto-)completions.

Virtual Packages in the Conda ecosystem
Virtual packages are a neat trick to inject system requirements into the SAT solver and resolve for compatible packages automatically. In this blog post we talk about how they are used in the Conda ecosystem to support complex cross-platform package distributions.

What is a Conda package, actually?
At its core, a conda package really is just a "glorified" tarball—a compressed archive of files with some metadata attached.

To upper bound or not – the Python packaging debates
A hot debate is happening in the Python packaging world – should you use upper bounds to constrain your dependencies or not? We think there must be a better way.
