@@ -3,15 +3,7 @@ Sadly this is complicated by the fact that Python can only tell us which transit
 are required by actually installing packages, and if you run pip-tools on a Mac or Linux machine,
 it will miss packages that are required on Windows and vice versa.
 
-So we're stuck manually merging dependencies for now. To update deps:
+Currently the Windows dependencies are a strict superset, so the package locks need to be generated
+on a Windows machine. To do so, run "bazel run update" from this folder.
 
-- run 'bazel run update' to update requirements.txt for the current
-  platform
-- consult the git diff, and manually merge the changes, undoing the removal
-  of items pinned on other platforms
-- repeat the process on the other platform
-- run the tests to ensure nothing has broken on either platform
-- commit the changes to requirements.txt

-At the time of writing, Macs and Linux machines have identical output - it is only
-Windows that differs. But we should not assume that will always be the case.
+pyqt is handled separately - see pyqt/

+We handle PyQt specially for a few reasons:
+
+-   It ships with a few issues in its .pyi files that we want to correct.
+-   Bazel's Python tools install each package in a separate folder, but the
+    various PyQt packages expect to be installed in the same location, and
+    will give runtime linking issues when they are split up.
+
+To update the version lock file, change to the folder with requirements.in,
+modify the file, and then run "bazel run //python:update". PyQt does not
+depend on platform-specific packages, so the update can be run on any platform.
