Build log

The macros execute what is given to them in upstream code. Here, they call the setup.py script through the setuptools.build_meta build backend specified in pyproject.toml.

My guess is that https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Package_information_on_ELF_objects is not correctly handled in the %pyproject_buildrequires section.



Anyway, I fail to reproduce because of:


No matching package to install: 'python3dist(xkbcommon) >= 0.2'

Actually:

No matching package to install: 'python3dist(pywayland) >= 0.1.1'
No matching package to install: 'python3dist(xkbcommon) >= 0.2'

My bad, sorry about that. 
The dependencies are available in this Copr project
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/frostyx/qtile/

Will try. In the meantime, several notes about the spec file, some of them might be relevant to the problem.


Requires:  wlroots -> this line does nothing because it is not in the python3-pywlroots %package section.


python3 -m build --wheel --no-isolation -> this should not be needed at all because %pyproject_wheel does that instead.


python3 wlroots/ffi_build.py -> if this is *required* and not just convenient, the upstream build is not PEP 517 compatible and thus cannot work wth the pyproject macros.


%pyproject_save_files '*' +auto -> this is forbidden in official Fedora packages.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Package_information_on_ELF_objects is not correctly handled in %pyproject_buildrequires -- this will bite any package that builds extension modules in %pyproject_buildrequires -- e.g. any package using %pyproject_buildrequires -w.

This works around the problem:

%undefine _package_note_flags

And this is a specfile that works:

Zbyszek,

the %pyproject_buildrequires macro is to be executed in the %generate_buildrequires section. It contains:
	
    # The _auto_set_build_flags feature does not do this in %%generate_buildrequires section,
    # but we want to get an environment consistent with %%build:
    %{?_auto_set_build_flags:%set_build_flags}

We need all the flags set as they are in %build, in order to generate extension modules that are ready to be installed if needed.

However, package information on ELF objects makes this blow up when extension modules are actually built, with:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot open linker script file /builddir/build/BUILD/pywlroots-0.15.17/.package_note-python-pywlroots-0.15.17-1.fc37.x86_64.ld: No such file or directory


Do we also need to stick something like this in?

    %{?_package_note_flags:%_generate_package_note_file}

Is that idempotent?

Ok, this works:

%generate_buildrequires
%{?_package_note_flags:%_generate_package_note_file}
%pyproject_buildrequires


And this also works:

%generate_buildrequires
%{?_package_note_flags:%_generate_package_note_file}
%{?_package_note_flags:%_generate_package_note_file}
%{?_package_note_flags:%_generate_package_note_file}
%{?_package_note_flags:%_generate_package_note_file}
%{?_package_note_flags:%_generate_package_note_file}
%pyproject_buildrequires


So I think it is safe to add it.
