Hi!

The Python package python-aws-sam-translator [1] has recently introduced a build dependency on python-cfn-lint which in turn already depends on python-aws-sam-translator which means there is now a circular build between those two packages which can currently only be broken up by disabling the testsuite in the python-aws-sam-translator.

If it's only needed for the testsuite then split it off to a separate multibuild flavor.

I have filed an upstream issue for that [2] but I'm also interested to hear suggestions how this issue could potentially be resolved in OBS. In Debian, there is something called build profiles [3] which allows packages to be bootstrapped with reduced feature sets to avoid build dependencies which helps breaking circular dependencies, then later rebuild the same package with all features enabled once all build dependencies have been built.

Is there something similar I could use in OBS to resolve this issue or does anyone have any other suggestion to resolve this issue?

Thanks, Adrian

There is _multibuild used for these purposes in many packages in python world already. Best solution for you is to 'steal' the approach from ie python-pbr package. Cheers Tom
