Hi, Please consider the "legacy" build mode to be strongly deprecated, both in distutils-r1 and upstream (to the point that sole presence of packages installed that way triggers deprecation warnings elsewhere, sigh). Therefore, if you haven't done that already, please look into converting your packages to use PEP517 builds (DISTUTILS_USE_PEP517, installing .dist-info rather than .egg*). We'd like to eventually remove the legacy code paths from the eclass, as they are not well- tested at this point, and they certainly are lacking, compared to the newer code paths.
This also applies to overlay maintainers, since overlays will be affected once we remove old code paths. The migration guide is here: https://projects.gentoo.org/python/guide/migration.html#migrating-to-pep-517-builds While at it, please also look at replacing `distutils_enable_tests setup.py` with one of the other test runners, as running `setup.py test` has been deprecated upstream as well. Or running `setup.py` at all, but the latter is less likely to suddenly stop working. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
