Bugzilla Automation <[email protected]> has asked freebsd-python (Nobody) <[email protected]> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 291209: Mk/Uses/python.mk: generalize .whl and .dist-info name in PEP517 install command https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291209
--- Description --- As our inability to update devel/py-setuptools past 63.1.0 has been hampering an increasing number of python port updates I've been doing some work on trying to resolve some of the exp-run issues from 80.9.0 Generalizing .whl and .dist-info install commands in python.mk seems to fix the issues in all of the staging failures I've tested (~30 different ports I've tested so far) For reference I'm testing in an up to date (as of Nov 25, 2025) ports tree on 14.3-RELEASE-p5 (both machine and jails). One has been left default, and the other has had the 80.9.0 patch applied found in review D46236. Only other change is my patch here. It was suggested on bug 270358 that I submit it as a new PR for review. I'd love to see it applied and an exp-run done to see if it clears at least one of the hurdles we're facing re: python setuptools. Thanks, Nick
