Notes for downstream packagers

liquidctl now uses a PEP 517 build: PyPA/build and PyPA/installer are suggested for a typical downstream package build process:

# build
python -m build --wheel [--no-isolation]

# install
python -m installer --destdir=<dest> dist/*.whl

Additionally, liquidctl has switched from an ad-hoc solution to version management to setuptools_scm. If the git tags aren't available, setuptools_scm supports environment variables to externally inject the version number.

export SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION_FOR_LIQUIDCTL=1.9.0
python -m build [args]
python -m installer [args]
