But aminimal version of it becomes available when the python3-setuptools package isinstalled. This is disappointing. I as an upstream developer outside the python community had hoped that python had learnt to stop breaking the language. Could this be added as a dep on the python package side of things, to at least undo the damage for Debian users? It may be the case that this was already done on Fedora, as that was being used as a canary for these changes and we haven't had any such feedback from them. Please add a Build-Depends on python3-setuptools to your package, or migratethe package's build system away from setuptools/distutils.If you run into any difficulties, please raise them ondebian-python@lists.debian.org. This bug has been filed at "important" severity, as the change hasn't beenmade in dh-python yet, but this may be raised to RC before the trixie release.Thanks,Stefano -- Andrew Bartlett (he/him) https://samba.org/~abartlet/ Samba Team Member (since 2001) https://samba.org Samba Developer, Catalyst IT https://catalyst.net.nz/services/samba |
