I did an impact check with the latest setuptools_scm and even if this package fails to build, the dependants don't and seem to not be impacted.

Not *immediately* impacted, that is. It would be nice to file bugs on dependent packages so they don’t have to scramble to remove the dependency when this package finally stops being installable. Most upstreams will just plod on with setuptools_scm pinned to <8 rather than removing the dependency in the next few months.

This plugin is obsolete since setuptools_scm version 7 was released and built for Fedora 37 15 months ago. I will open upstream issues where appropriate but not all upstream use that plugin.

packit - issue exists since November 2022 https://github.com/packit/packit/issues/1795
python-aiomysql - issue exists since June 2022 https://github.com/aio-libs/aiomysql/issues/809
python-animatplot - new issue created https://github.com/boutproject/animatplot-ng/issues/15
python-ansi2html - no setuptools_scm_git_archive in the dependencies
python-boutdata - no setuptools_scm_git_archive in the dependencies
python-boututils - no setuptools_scm_git_archive in the dependencies
python-enrich - no setuptools_scm_git_archive in the dependencies
python-molecule-docker - archived project

python-ogr - new issue created https://github.com/packit/ogr/issues/805
python-pyclipper - new issue created https://github.com/fonttools/pyclipper/issues/52
python-pyocr - the latest version doesn't need the plugin anymore

I'm gonna check the projects where the plugin is not in the list of dependencies upstream.

python-ansi2html - The latest release no longer needs it but there is no final release, only 1.9.0rc1
python-boutdata - removed upstream, not yet released
python-boututils - removed upstream, not yet released
python-enrich - removed upstream, not yet released
python-molecule-podman - the project is archived but there is one release newer than what we have in Fedora and it doesn't require the plugin

Nice! Thank you.

This package has stopped building in Rawhide, there are still some packages that BuildRequire it:

I'm adding FTBFS40 and PYTHON3.13 blockers for now to increase visibility.
Let's then iterate on the packages and try to get rid of the dependency.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 40 development cycle.
Changing version to 40.

$ repoquery -q --repo=rawhide{,-source} --whatrequires python3-setuptools_scm_git_archive
python-ansi2html-0:1.8.0-7.fc40.src
python-boututils-0:0.2.1-3.fc40.src

python-trx-python-0:0.2.9-1.fc41.src
python-xbout-0:0.3.5-8.fc39.src


Looks like python-trx-python is new in the list.

All the remaining dependents have upstream fixes available (and linked in Bugzilla). I suggest we announce the intent to retire this package in a ~week and then do it. Making the package FTBFS before the actual Python 3.13 update will reduce the amount of unrelated breakage once the update is actually happening.

Fixed.

Should we do this now extending the provenpackers rights? The admins of the package have not been active in the conversation and it's not one of the @python-packagers-sig packages.

Considering the planned time of the Python 3.13 rebuild, I'd say it no longer gains us much benefit.

python-pyclipper no longer requires python3-setuptools_scm_git_archive. Thanks, Miro.
