Top posting because replying from my phone, but I think it'd be great to have in EPEL 9 because it's essential for some packages to build. The same goes for Poetry, which is now used for software made by Fedora Infrastructure these days.
I'm starting to try and grok pyproject.toml and its assorted PEPs in
more details, and it looks like flit is one of the more straightforward
way to build compliant wheels out there.
Should we get it into EPEL9? I filed a tracking bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2035376
looks like it's retired in CS9 so it should be fine for us to have.
https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/python-flit/-/blob/main/dead.package
It currently does not build because of some missing dependencies - I
listed them in the bug above - if we do want this in EPEL9 I'll file
those bug requests and make them block this.
Also, to note, the EPEL maintainer is currently set to orphan. While I'm
in python-sig so I can branch and build just fine as is, Miro, as the
owner could you add me to the ACL and/or set me as the EPEL assignee?
We could probably add epel-packagers-sig as collaborator on epel*
branches too.
Best regards,
