Created attachment 1214974 [details] Patch Description of problem: python-nss uses distutils to build and distribute itself. Although distutils is not yet deprecated, the Python packaging user guide recommends [1] setuptools in favor of distutils. Setuptools has a couple of advantages over distutils. For example it supports the wheels [2] package format. I'm currently trying to make it easier to FreeIPA's client libraries. Wheels are one step in my undertaking. python-nss is the only package that does not support bdist_wheel yet.

Created attachment 1214976 [details] Corrected patch My first patch did not fix the bdist_wheel issue. There was a conflict between your custom setup arguments and distutils. setup.py was using '-d' as an alias for '--debug'. The '-d' argument is also a reserved alias for '--dist-dir'. I had to remove the alias for '--debug'. $ python setup.py bdist --help ... Options for 'bdist' command: --bdist-base (-b) temporary directory for creating built distributions --plat-name (-p) platform name to embed in generated filenames (default: linux-x86_64) --formats formats for distribution (comma-separated list) --dist-dir (-d) directory to put final built distributions in [default: dist] ...

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
