Hi Lars,
Excerpts from Lars-Dominik Braun's message of January 23, 2021 1:34 pm: >> Done! :-) >> I've eventually succeeded in ("properly") packaging a software managed >> with Poetry.

I > cannot quite build python-build, , ?! My `python-build` seems to work: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=45931 > because I’m lacking support for python-flit I also had a problem with `python-flit`, but it was when I was working on `python-typer`: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=45935 This is why I didn't build it from the source. > but I think the general idea is clear: Remove pip and > setuptools from python (saves almost 20MiB from the closure and avoids > weird conflicts between python’s setuptools and python-setuptools) and > turn them into (almost) ordinary packages. Then use setuptools to > bootstrap itself, bootstrap python-build with setuptools and use > python-build to build evrey other packages using python-build-system. Wow, the rest is way out of my comfort zone! But I'll read it carefully and try to help if I can! Best regards, -- Tanguy
