On more recent versions of setuptools the warning about not being able
to find the files specified in license_files has re-appeared. This is
because as best I can tell, it can't and won't look in $(srctree) but
rather only subdirectories of scripts/dtc/pylibfdt. Since we already
provide both SPDX tags and a license field with the SPDX contents, let
us just drop license_files as it's not mandatory.
IANAL but I believe we need to ship the file, that's part of the license
requirements for both GPL-2.0-or-later and BSD-2-Clause.
Can you try with a relative path, like ../../../ in front of Licenses?
If not enough, it's possible it's because it cannot read in parent
directories? What if we have a symlink, does it copy the symlink or the
target of the symlink?
Reading
https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/miscellaneous.html, the
license_files should then be automatically included in the sdist
tarball, so the presence of the files in it shouldn't be an issue here.
Cheers,
Quentin
