TL;DR: increase min version of meson-python dep for numpy, either in the ebuild, or in the eclass. Build of numpy failed w/ dev-python/meson-python-0.14.0; portage had scheduled the upgrade of meson-python after numpy. Manually upgrading meson-python before numpy let it proceed fine. * Package: dev-python/numpy-1.26.4:0 * Repository: gentoo * Maintainer: sci@gentoo.org python@gentoo.org * USE: abi_x86_64 amd64 elibc_glibc kernel_linux lapack python_targets_python3_11 * FEATURES: ccache network-sandbox preserve-libs sandbox splitdebug userpriv usersandbox * Using following Fortran compiler: * F77: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gfortran * FC: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gfortran >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking numpy-1.26.4.tar.gz to /dev/shm/portage/dev-python/numpy-1.26.4/work >>> Source unpacked in /dev/shm/portage/dev-python/numpy-1.26.4/work >>> Preparing source in /dev/shm/portage/dev-python/numpy-1.26.4/work/numpy-1.26.4 ... * Build system packages: * dev-python/gpep517 : 15 * dev-python/installer : 0.7.0 * dev-python/cython : 3.0.8-r1 * dev-python/meson-python : 0.14.0 >>> Source prepared. >>> Configuring source in /dev/shm/portage/dev-python/numpy-1.26.4/work/numpy-1.26.4 ... * Using python3.11 in global scope * python3_11: running distutils-r1_run_phase python_configure_all >>> Source configured. >>> Compiling source in /dev/shm/portage/dev-python/numpy-1.26.4/work/numpy-1.26.4 ... * python3_11: running distutils-r1_run_phase distutils-r1_python_compile * Building the wheel for numpy-1.26.4 via mesonpy python3.11 -m gpep517 build-wheel --prefix=/usr --backend mesonpy --output-fd 3 --wheel-dir /dev/shm/portage/dev-python/numpy-1.26.4/work/numpy-1.26.4-python3_11/wheel --config-json {"builddir": "/dev/shm/portage/dev-python/numpy-1.26.4/work/numpy-1.26.4-python3_11", "setup-args": ["-Dallow-noblas=false", "-Dblas=cblas", "-Dlapack=lapack"], "compile-args": ["-v", "-j24", "-l22"]} 2024-03-14 21:45:35,917 gpep517 INFO Building wheel via backend mesonpy meson-python: error: Unknown configuration entry "tool.meson-python.meson" * ERROR: dev-python/numpy-1.26.4::gentoo failed (compile phase): * Wheel build failed *
