Dear all,
This thread is an attempt to keep a handle on the various patches
involved in upgrading Poetry to 1.1.4, and to ask a couple
questions that crop up.
- Tanguy's original patch http://issues.guix.info/44077 is merged
- But python-packaging had to be downgraded again because it
generated too much rebuilds
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-12/msg00003.html>
- Tanguy submitted another patch for Poetry reducing
python-packaging's required version:
https://issues.guix.info/45003
Now, there are a couple more hiccups with other packages:
- poetry actually requires a more recent version of python-keyring
(>=21.2.0 instead of the current 21.0.0),
- upstream python-keyring is at 21.5.0, which requires
python-setuptools >= 42 (guix now has 41.0.1)
- as a sidenote, when I locally added setuptools >=42 explicitely
to python-keyring's native-inputs, it solved the version
declaration problem described here
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/python-xyz.scm?id=04b83678653fda3c66e600e88f54f5108290ec1c#n13228>
Question: upstream setuptools is at 50.3.2, and they have dropped
python2 support at v45 (see
<https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/master/CHANGES.rst>).
Should we simply upgrade to v44, or rather create alternate
python{,2}-setuptools-44 packages? `guix refresh -l
python2-setuptools` lists 48 dependent packages.
Happy hacking!
Sébastien
