https://blogs.gentoo.org/ago/2020/07/04/gentoo-tinderbox/ Issue: app-misc/khard-0.17.0-r1 uses a probably incorrect DISTUTILS_USE_SETUPTOOLS value. Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: tinderbox) NOTE: entry_points no longer use setuptools at runtime.
Created attachment 740283 [details] build.log build log and emerge --info
Doesn't reproduce. The build.log you attached lists > * QA Notice: DISTUTILS_USE_SETUPTOOLS value is probably incorrect > * have: DISTUTILS_USE_SETUPTOOLS=rdepend > * expected: (unset) I can't find the logic in current eclasses, nor in portage's install-qa-check.d. Has the code producing this notice been dropped? Does that mean I can close the bug? If not, may I ask for some explanation why there's a suspicion of incorrectness?
It's from install-qa-check.d/60distutils-use-setuptools I just gave it a try (on ~amd64) and it was there for me: * Messages for package app-misc/khard-0.17.0-r1: * Log file: /var/log/portage/app-misc:khard-0.17.0-r1:20211116-173030.log.gz * QA Notice: DISTUTILS_USE_SETUPTOOLS value is probably incorrect * have: DISTUTILS_USE_SETUPTOOLS=rdepend * expected: (unset) Do you have qa in PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES? Without it, it'll be earlier in your build log rather than shown at the end. The QA check looks at the package's dependencies (as set by upstream), if setuptools is not listed then it suspects it may be wrong to be RDEPEND. That may not always be right though, perhaps upstream is missing a dependency (in which case could patch and report upstream), preferable to check if it runs fine without it to be sure (fwiw my binpkg-only server doesn't have setuptools, so it matters)
The default value, bdepend, seems reasonable in this case. I'm going to drop the line `DISTUTILS_USE_SETUPTOOLS=rdepend` from both ebuilds (which are stable). We certainly don't want to trigger rebuilds. For the record, that line was introduced by commits 0667adfa7f4d, cca5e801c584.
(FWIW the QA tooling and the upstream behaviour has actually changed recently here.)

Could you see it in the end? (Again note that behaviour did change.)
I managed to see the warning after setting PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES=qa .
