Description of problem:
We want to update pip from 25.2 to 25.3 in Rawhide but python-fastrlock fails to build:

This looks like the following change in pip:

https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/news/#v25-3

"""
Remove support for the deprecated setup.py bdist_wheel mechanism. Consequently, --use-pep517 is now always on, and --no-use-pep517 has been removed.
"""

https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6334


As a workaround, try building the package with PIP_NO_BUILD_ISOLATION=0 set -- that disables build isolation (which is a tad confusing, see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5735).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.8.3-9.fc44

Steps to Reproduce: Build the package from distgit using our copr linked above. E.g.:

fedpkg --release rawhide mockbuild -- --addrepo=https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/churchyard/pip-25.3/fedora-rawhide-x86_64

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2025-12-01 19:19:08 UTC
In this package, the reason for the failure is a tad weird. tox calls:

commands_pre =
    python -m pip install pytest -r requirements.txt
    python setup.py build_ext -i
    python -m pip install .

And the final installation fails here. While PIP_NO_BUILD_ISOLATION=0 might make this go away, a proper fix is not to ever do this. I tried at https://github.com/scoder/fastrlock/pull/22 however the fact that the tests are a subpackage of fastrlock makes this a complicated case.

Anyway, this fixes it: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-fastrlock/pull-request/3

Comment 2 Aoife Moloney 2026-08-17 14:02:49 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle.
Changing version to 45.
