Hi,

I wanted to update python-pydyf to current version. The project has switched from setup.py to pyproject.toml. I run into an error while testing: pytest-3.8: error: unrecognized arguments: --flake8 --numprocesses=auto as probably some dependencies are not installed

Is there a way to automate this. like in pip install pydyf[test] ?

1. There is no guarantee that an upstream defines their test dependencies in an extra `[test]`. 2. Fedora has an automatic generator wich also works with extras [1], but we generally don't even use the generator for standard runtime dependencies in openSUSE [2]. 3. For packages where I know that it is used by consuming packages I manually define meta-subpackages for extras like python-jupyter-server-test which mirrors `jupyter-server[test]` [3]. 4. Unless we get the automatic buildtime dep generator mentioned in [2], runtime deps won't help you with buildtime test deps in a non-multibuild package. 5. Blindly pulling in `[dev]` or `[test]` dependencies will also pull in stuff we don't need in obs packaging like coverage and linters. 6. In your case: Remove the `--isort` and `--flake8` addopts from the pytest section in pyproject.toml and provide python-pytest-xdist for the `--numprocesses` flag.

Thanks Axel
