Thanks @lahwaacz, I Completely agree with @eli-schwartz here. `setuptools-scm` is a completely valid external dependency to have a git version generator. Is used with plenty of other build backends, not only setuptools. The goal of this issue was to get rid of setuptools as a build backend for PyArrow, basically remove our setup.py and have an improved build process. And this was done. We never intended to remove all possible dependencies that require setuptools. If there's appetite for this a new issue can be opened but I am unsure about what are the benefits of such requirement from an Arrow/PyArrow point of view. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
