Description Davide Cavalca 2022-01-25 02:18:57 UTC

Please branch and build pyproject-rpm-macros in epel8.

If you do not wish to maintain pyproject-rpm-macros in epel8,
or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner,
the EPEL Packaging SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package.

Comment 1 Davide Cavalca 2022-01-25 02:20:40 UTC

Looks like the tests require python-tox-current-env, which in turn requires pyproject-rpm-macros, so this might require an initial build with tests disabled.

Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2022-01-25 10:02:47 UTC

The macros require features of RPM not yet available in RHEL 8. If the EPEL Packaging SIG knows how to port the macros to the old RPM version in RHEL 8, they can maintain it, but I won't.

Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2022-05-24 02:17:29 UTC

Just some notes for posterity:

I took a stab at trying to get some basic pyproject macros working for EL8, but I got stuck at pyproject_wheel.py failing in some kind of recursive copy.  I suspect an old version of python38-wheel being the cause, but it's pretty opaque to me.

Well, got farther is I comment out TMPDIR - test PR here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pyproject-rpm-macros/pull-request/284

This is https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/7872 fixed in https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/7873 -- if you would like to open a PR in CentOS Stream 8 with a backport, I would gladly review it.
