Wiki - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Setuptools_74%2B Discussion Thread - https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f42-change-proposal-setuptools-74-system-wide/132052 This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux. This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == Update to a new upstream release of {{package|python-setuptools}} that is not completely compatible with previous releases. Most notably, version 72.0.0 removed support for the `setup.py test` command (deprecated for 5 years). This is a breaking change and Fedora packages that use the `setup.py test` command during the build need to be adapted to use a different test runner, such as unittest, pytest, etc. There might be other breaking changes. We estimate 142 to 196 Fedora Rawhide packages to fail to build due to this upgrade (as of Sep 2024). == Owner == * Name: [[User:Churchyard|Miro Hrončok]] * Email: mhroncok@xxxxxxxxxx == Detailed Description == Setuptools is a package development process library designed to facilitate packaging Python projects by enhancing the former Python standard library distutils (distribution utilities). It changes fast and it often introduces breaking changes such as the removal of the `setup.py test` command in version 72.0.0 which was deprecated since 2019. If your Fedora package still uses the `setup.py test` command (deprecated for 5 years), please update to `%pytest`, `%tox`, `%{python3} -m unittest`, etc. List of packages that will likely fail to build, because they use the removed `setup.py test` command in the specfile: $ rg '^[^-#].+(\b|_)setup(\.py|\})\s+test\b' -l | sed -E 's|^rpm-specs/(.+)\.spec$|\1|' | sort adapt

failures and opening bugzillas before we actually update setuptools. == Feedback == python-devel thread from August 2024: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/YOC5527SRKNY2XG6CMS3KNGJ54O7SMXI/ Listed ~200 packages, ~30 were fixed in a month. Thank you, maintainers! == Benefit to Fedora == Fedora offers cutting-edge technologies for Python and setuptools is one of the most important Python packages. By doing this update we bring users the latest features that setuptools offers and also we enable Fedora 42+ to receive future updates as well. == Scope == * Proposal owners: update python-setuptools to 74.x.x or newer, open bugzillas, provide help * Other developers: report problems to the upstream and backport patches to the affected packages. The impact can be tested using [https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/churchyard/setuptools-74/ copr repository where setuptools 74+ has been built]. * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/12323 #12323] * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: First == Upgrade/compatibility impact == There is a clean upgrade path from current version to python-setuptools 69.x.x. Fedora users using RPM-packaged setuptools will use setuptools 74+ by default. == Early Testing (Optional) == Do you require 'QA Blueprint' support? N == How To Test == * Find the package you want to update in the [https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/churchyard/setuptools-74/ copr repository] and check the build logs to determine the fail cause. * Work with the upstream to resolve the issue or drop the need for `setup.py test` during the build of the package. * When updating the package, you can test it using the same copr repository where the latest version of setuptools has been built. * Let us know if something doesn't work as it should. == User Experience == Regular distro users shouldn't notice any change in setuptools behavior, except for upstream-intended changes. == Dependencies == == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: (What to do? Who will do it?) Provide a compat package with setuptools 69 * Contingency deadline: mass rebuild * Blocks release? No == Documentation == [https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/stable/history.html Setuptools changelog] This page is the documentation. == Release Notes == -- Aoife Moloney Fedora Operations Architect Fedora Project Matrix: @amoloney:fedora.im IRC: amoloney -- _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
