But it is. It' part of the RHEL 9 CRB repository. However, also version 6.0.1. Why do you require >= 6.2 exactly?
I was following the instructions in the project's README:
https://github.com/pypa/setuptools_scm#pyprojecttoml-usage
Regarding availability for el9, I didn't know (where to look). I looked on src.fp.o:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-setuptools_scm
There's an ancient version for el7, but nothing for el8 or el9.
Yet, thinking about the whole thing, all setuptools_scm does is calculate the version of the release from information in the SCM. In the RPM build environments that information is taken from the spec file. I don't know much about the internal workings of rpmbuild, but to me any BR on python-setuptools-scm (or the toml extra) seems redundant.
It is indeed redundant, but sometimes a bit hard to patch out.
One for the wish list then. Why chase down redundant build dependencies?
