Hi Dirk, We already released imporlib-metadata on Leap and SLE products. So it should be resolvable everywhere. If it is not then something is amiss but we processed the importlib-* stuff together with the pytest updates. HTH Tom Dirk Müller píše v Po 27. 04. 2020 v 09:44 +0200:
Hi,
It looks like pypi modules that are obsolete with python 3.8 have been dropped from Factory, examples are importlib-metadata (and maybe also cursive). importlib-metadata has a pretty drastic impact on anything older than factory/python 3.8, as it is a dependency of many modules.
We now have over 1000 unresolvables on any released distribution, which breaks quite a lot, including community work that is now entirely blocked because we managed to break older distros completely (again).
I am wondering what the intentions here are, and whether we could come to a solution that does have less drastic impact on users of the python stack.
we could
a) patch the backports repo to have a :only_backports build path that includes those dropped packages again
b) readd libraries that don't hurt but are necessary for older distros again to factory (my understanding is that factory-first also means that we are consolidating efforts in factory)
c) fix more than 1000 upstream libraries to no longer use importlib- metadata
Any preference?
