Guidance needed regarding running `ant` in %prep
by Sandro
Hi,
During review of a package I submitted [1], the reviewer asked me to
move running an `ant` script from %prep to %build.
However, I feel that step belongs in %prep for two reasons:
1. It's a preparatory step for the Python build that follows
The `ant` job provides codec mappings (from Java Charsets), which are
subsequently used in the Python package. The process is described in the
CodecMapper README [2].
2. It would be (needlessly?) more complicated to do that in %build
I need to prep the sources and move stuff around for the Python package
to live at the top level, before calling `%pyproject_buildrequires`,
which is done before %build.
The actual Python package, from which the PyPI sdist and wheel are
produced lives in a sub directory of the CodecMapper repository [3].
Unfortunately, the PyPI sdist is incomplete. That's why I'm using the
GitHub sources.
I'd appreciate any guidance with regards to permissibility and/or
alternative approaches.
