Description Miro Hrončok 2025-10-13 15:41:33 UTC

Dear package maintainer,

We want to update python-setuptools to 80.9.0 or newer.

However, your package fails to build with it, in our testing Copr:

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/churchyard/setuptools-80.9.0/package/pytest

To reproduce, try to build your package in mock with:

 $ fedpkg --release rawhide mockbuild -N -- --addrepo=https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/churchyard/setuptools-80.9.0/fedora-rawhide-x86_64

As the number of failures is rather high, I have not yet tried to look into the details about each individual failure.
When you do, please feel free to post relevant part of the logs as comments.

Thank you. Let me know if you need help.

E   UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html. The pkg_resources package is slated for removal as early as 2025-11-30. Refrain from using this package or pin to Setuptools<81.

https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/pull/13444 has the fix; we could backport that or upgrade pytest to 8.4.0

Closed via https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-0f2db2b553 -- I had a typo in "rhbz" so the update did not close this.
