Since USE_PYTHON=pep517 has its own bootstrapping process, use this method to build setuptools. This allows newer Python distributions/interpreters to land in the tree, for the purpose of having buildable packages. While here, remove a slew of dead code and adjust WWW [0] https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/ PR: 271673, 274671 devel/py-setuptools/Makefile | 39 ++++++---------------- .../files/easy-install.pth.dist (gone) | 2 -- .../patch-setuptools_package__index.py (gone) | 11 ------ devel/py-setuptools/files/pkg-message.in (gone) | 8 ----- 4 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 50 deletions(-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
