retitle 959407 dh-python: support pyproject.toml builds (PEP 518)
without setup.py
thanks
Activating the flit plugin is not sufficient to enable pyproject.toml
builds.
As the pybuild man page says, "These can be identified by the presence
of a
build-backend = "flit_core.buildapi" element in pyproject.toml."
flit doesn't support pyproject.toml builds in general.
If you place
Build-Depends: python3-toml, flit
in debian/control, and
export PYBUILD_SYSTEM=flit
in debian/rules, then if pyproject.toml does not support flit
you get the build error
dh_auto_build -O--buildsystem=pybuild
E: pybuild pybuild:352: build: plugin flit failed with: TOML file
missing [tool.flit] table.
dh_auto_build: error: pybuild --build -i python{version} -p "3.9 3.8"
returned exit code 13
make: *** [debian/rules:7: build] Error 13
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build subprocess returned exit
status 2
