Ok, here's a somewhat related idea. Since we're going to have to switch |
| 10 |
to PEP517 builds anyway at some point, and PEP517 builds use .dist-info |
| 11 |
rather than .egg-info, how about: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
1. we set SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib for the time being, |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
2. then we switch to =local in PEP517 mode? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
i.e. effectively skip the intermediate step of having .egg-info |
| 18 |
directory in distutils ebuilds, and go straight for .dist-info. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
In other words: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
a. existing ebuilds will not be affected, and unmasking setuptools-60+ |
| 23 |
should not cause any problems, |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
b. we will explicitly switch to the new mode via eclass var and test |
| 26 |
both potentially breaking changes simultaneously. |
