--- Comment #13 from Charlie Li <vish...@freebsd.org> --- > distutils and setuptools aren't required ot be present in the suggested > approach They are present by virtue of py-build and py-installer currently in the tree using distutils/setuptools to build themselves. installer is actually built wrong in this case since the specified build backend is flit, not setuptools (but works by coincidence). > "build" is a user intent, not a package name Still misleading, because the intent does not imply install to staging/wherever. > This potential problem can be solved once it becomes a real problem. And it > won't become a real problem any time soon. It will become a real problem in our tree when PEP-517 support lands in the framework. Currently, when USES_PYTHON=distutils is specified, setuptools is an unconditional RUN_DEPENDS, which is unnecessary and wrong for PEP-517. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
