Hello. python-mailman-hyperkitty fails to build from source becasue it uses one or both of: - %pyproject_buildrequires -t/-e (generate dependencies via tox) - %tox (run tox) without tox configuration (e.g. tox.ini or tox section of pyproject.toml/setup.cfg). This was always supposed to fail, but regressed with tox 4. Now it fails again. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/ZSHSHZKVA4XJQBJD7FMMCALKN4UP5SAJ/ https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/N25A2BER3RUHMTBIULQ6AVWRILSL5VGW/ If this package uses tox upstream, make sure to use a source tarball that includes the tox configuration (e.g. an archive from GitHub instead of sdist from PyPI). If this package does not use tox upstream, you cannot use the tox options. If your package uses %pyproject_buildrequires -t/-e but does not use %tox, just drop the -t/-e option. If your package uses %tox, replace the call with a more suitable way for running tests (e.g. %pytest). Let me know if you need assistance. Thanks.
This was already somehow acknowledged in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-mailman-hyperkitty/c/7f26f758a6a00f5b986828acfbbd04d66bf2fd03?branch=rawhide -- tox does not work on EL 9 because tox in EL 9 always failed in this case.
Hello. If you need help fixing this, please let me know. If you plan to fix this yourself, please respond. Thanks.
so, switching to pytest shows a bunch of test failures... basically all of them. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=130885224 is a scratch build to look at. I don't have too much more time to look, help from anywhere welcome.
Upstream has https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-hyperkitty/-/blob/1.2.1/tox.ini?ref_type=tags Looking at it and the failures, I guess this might be a missing dependency on python3dist(mailman)? It might be a good idea to reuse that tox.ini, but it is not present in the sdist. ------ Anyway, with this: BuildRequires: python3-nose2 BuildRequires: mailman3 ... %check %{py3_test_envvars} %{python3} -m nose2 -v I get: + /usr/bin/python3 -m nose2 -v LayerSuite ...
