Can you please update EPEL9 to a build of 4.12? It's needed so I can build RBTools 4.0 for EPEL9. There don't appear to be any major backwards-incompatible changes and only 2 other packages depend on this. # dnf repoquery --whatrequires python3-importlib-metadata Last metadata expiration check: 2:22:02 ago on Tue Jan 3 21:29:41 2023. python3-dns-lexicon-0:3.11.7-1.el9.noarch python3-pytest-randomly-0:3.12.0-1.el9.noarch I'm a maintainer of python3-dns-lexicon and I've confirmed it will be fine with the change. python-pytest-randomly's setup.cfg cites this: --- importlib-metadata >= 3.6.0 ; python_version < "3.10" --- So it should not have any problems either.
Okay, will take this and give it a go in the next few days.
@jonathan A significant problem. It requires setuptools >= 56 and currently RHEL9 only ships python3-setuptools-53.0.0-10.el9.noarch. Until Red Hat upgrades to a later version we are stuck on importlib_metadata-4.6.3 as it requires setuptools >= 42. Any suggestions?
Sorry about the multiple needinfo. I don't know what happened there.
I'd check whether the package really needs setuptools >= 56. Upstream devs sometimes higher these requirements without any significant reasons. We can either check the code upstream or remove the version limit and try to build it in COPR.
Yeah, the version looks to be just the latest when they decided to upgrade from a much older version. I'll try and zap version restriction and see if it builds.

A quick patch to lower the requirement to 53 seems to work fine, and still passes all the tests, so I've built it and pushed for review and eventual release. Please test and confirm it is as you require. I don't expect too much of an issue, as it is the same version as in F37.
