Hey Pythonistas,

now when we have %pyproject_buildrequires -p, I paln to deprecate -w.

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pyproject-rpm-macros/pull-request/502

The flag was provisional and no Fedora package needs it any more.


The -w and -p flags are both useful for build backends that don't implement the optional prepare-metadata-for-build-wheel hook.

 -p reads the metadata from a standardized TOML file
 -w builds the wheel and reads the metadata from it

Both of them unfortunately need to do this repeatedly.

-p is very fast, -w is slow (very slow for complex packages)

Technically, not all backends support -p. But the overlap of known backends that don't and those that don't have the prepare-metadata-for-build-wheel hook is currently empty.
