Description:
This project provides the infrastructure to build CMake Python wheels.

There is already a python3-cmake package.  It is a subpackage of cmake itself: https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/cmake/python3-cmake/

Comment 2 Cristian Le 2024-08-21 13:47:42 UTC
Yeah, things are veerry complicated about how to handle the packaging of python-cmake. See some of the discussions in [1-3]. Overall the consensus seems to be that `python3-cmake` should in fact be removed. There's also some uncertainty of how PEP725 will evolve which would interact with this.

This review is more on, if we need the python files from upstream, here is an approach that does not interfere with CMake's packaging, if they would want to not maintain the python patching.
