Description Miro Hrončok 2022-09-05 13:58:17 UTC

Description of problem:
See https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1937

I'd like to backport the fix for this:
https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/pull/2580


Version-Release number of selected component: 53.0.0-10.el9


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to build the ipython package from rawhide on epel9.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ipython/tree/9473367fe84dc2a9a3371219ebf405acd2a8ef35

Actual results:

    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.6HcrAh (%build)

Expected results:
The build succeeds.

Additional info:

Technically, this might not be 100% backward compatible. Hence I'd like to reach an agreement before backporting it.

Comment 1 Lumír Balhar 2022-09-05 14:11:17 UTC

Note that the failing function in IPython is some custom test checking that the package_data in setup.cfg is correctly defined. I think we don't need it and we can patch it out easily. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/blob/4396dd6207f5bb1c310ea897065c0c6e17d5f5b1/setupbase.py#L112-L122

But given that the fix is already implemented in setuptools for quite some time, backporting it is also a solution.

Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2022-09-07 12:47:56 UTC

Tested by running the added test in %check (careful: tests are disabled by default).

Comment 4 Miro Hrončok 2022-09-07 12:58:25 UTC

Also verified that ipython from rawhide builds fine in epel9-next mock with this installed.
