Hi Kurt,
You can change any port to pep517 except in very few cases when this would introduce a circular dependency. pep517 is now a default way to build python packages because distutils is now deprecated in Python. In the case of textproc/py-pyphen - it used the ad-hoc setup.py that wasn't registering it properly, because this was added before pep517 was available.
Hope this helps. Best, Yuri On 2/6/23 08:42, Kurt Jaeger wrote:
Hi! because of this:textproc/py-pyphen: Change build to pep517I want to ask you about the details of this. I'm trying to upgrade print/py-weasyprint from version 51 to 57.2. It looks like it now requires devel/py-flit and/or devel/py-flit-core. Those are ports that are built with USE_PYTHON=distutils Can I easily change those to USE_PYTHON=pep517 or is there some magic involved ?
