During July 2025, Waterman Paint focused on improving the build and packaging process for the ankitects/anki repository. Addressing a packaging bug, Waterman updated Python build scripts and project configuration to exclude unnecessary directories and file types from the AQT wheel. This change ensured that only essential assets were included, reducing the wheel size and minimizing the risk of shipping extraneous data. Leveraging skills in build systems and packaging, Waterman’s work enhanced the reliability and efficiency of the distribution process. The depth of the fix demonstrated careful attention to project structure and a clear understanding of Python-based packaging workflows.
