Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2024-03-22 13:26:25 UTC
`distutils_enable_tests setup.py` is deprecated and going to be removed from the eclass (following upstream deprecation of the same thing).  Please switch to some other unittest provider, e.g. `unittest` or `pytest`.
Comment 1 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2024-03-23 17:11:15 UTC
My hope is that they finish the Meson port soon. Eli has offered to help them get it over the line with review if they need it.
Comment 2 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2024-03-23 17:11:28 UTC
If it becomes urgent (one of the last consumers), I can temporarily remove tests.

    media-gfx/mypaint: port to python-single-r1
    
    The package isn't suitable for PEP517, as it installs data files and
    it simply happens to be written in Python, rather than intending to be
    imported and so on.
    
    Unfortunately, for the remaining PEP517 holdouts, there's little pressure
    upstream for them to port to a proper build system yet, as while setuptools
    deprecated the `setup.py` entrypoint some time ago, there's no removal
    in sight yet, so the only pressing side is on Gentoo's where we want
    to cleanup distutils-r1's support for that.
    
    It was arguably a mistake to really have these packages use distutils-r1
    in the first place.
    
    The obvious workaround for now is to invoke setup.py manually w/ python-single-r1,
    and punt the question until setuptools removal of the entrypoint looks
    closer (at which time, other distros will be putting pressure on upstreams
    too). Of course, if at the time of such a setuptools change, the package
    is still not fixed, then we'd have to remove it.
    
    (In this case, upstream are preparing a port to Meson.)
