Please branch and build python-flit-core in epel9. If you do not wish to maintain python-flit-core in epel9, or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner, the EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package; please add the epel-packagers-sig group through https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-flit-core/addgroup and grant it commit access, or collaborator access on epel* branches. I would also be happy to be a co-maintainer (FAS: salimma); please add me through https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-flit-core/adduser
epel9 already has python-flit-3.4.0-1.el9 which builds python3-flit-core-3.4.0-1.el9.noarch.rpm
Turns out awscli2 needs a newer flit-core (>- 3.7.1); I've modified the request accordingly and taken it. This builds fine (flit itself needs to be upgraded of course) with a minor patch to require tomli on RHEL < 10 (the automatic BR did not catch this) but given the DNS outage I can't put up the PR yet
I don't think it's smart to branch and build python-flit-core in epel9. It might be easier to simply update python-flit instead if it is backwards compatible. Or update and then split it the way Fedora has split it. Either way, please coordinate this with @gotmax23 rather than pushing directly.
Ack. Will update this and python-flit in combination - but definitely will put up PRs rather than landing this directly.
