This package still uses the legacy eclass code paths. These paths are deprecated and pose a significant maintenance cost. Please update the package to use PEP517 build mode. For more information, please see the Python Guide, particularly; https://projects.gentoo.org/python/guide/migration.html#migrating-to-pep-517-builds
[Adding this comment en-masse, sorry for the noise, but it's important.) 1. Please take particular care to check file diffs before/after, possibly using `iwdevtools`. Keep a particular eye out for e.g. config files now missing from /etc and instead being in /usr/lib/python*/site-packages, etc. 2. Please make sure to do the migration in a new revision in ~arch, partly because of 1.
Final ping. Please note that we will not hesitate to last rite low profile packages over this.
performed today a try to use pep517 for this ebuild. A lot of files are not installed now - so seems like a sad state :(
Absolutely final ping before I really start last riting stuff.
The bug has been closed via the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=5a04eede34734659c7bf34fae34a1de4bb15babf commit 5a04eede34734659c7bf34fae34a1de4bb15babf Author: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2025-03-31 16:31:11 +0000 Commit: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2025-03-31 16:31:52 +0000 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.)
