I'm starting to try and grok pyproject.toml and its assorted PEPs in more details, and it looks like flit is one of the more straightforward way to build compliant wheels out there.
Should we get it into EPEL9? I filed a tracking bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2035376
looks like it's retired in CS9 so it should be fine for us to have. https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/python-flit/-/blob/main/dead.pa...
It currently does not build because of some missing dependencies - I listed them in the bug above - if we do want this in EPEL9 I'll file those bug requests and make them block this.
Also, to note, the EPEL maintainer is currently set to orphan. While I'm in python-sig so I can branch and build just fine as is, Miro, as the owner could you add me to the ACL and/or set me as the EPEL assignee?
We could probably add epel-packagers-sig as collaborator on epel* branches too.
Best regards,
Top posting because replying from my phone, but I think it'd be great to have in EPEL 9 because it's essential for some packages to build. The same goes for Poetry, which is now used for software made by Fedora Infrastructure these days.

Do we (as in Fedora) have any preference which way, between setuptools, poetry, and flit?
Asking because I'm writing a new tool and I wonder which build system to use.
Thanks,

Not really.

If there is a chance you'll ever target EPEL 8 or lesser, stick with setuptools and keep at least a small setup.py shim. I've seen Fedora infra packaging noggin with poetry and then struggling to package it for EPEL 8:

So is setuptools BTW.

Sure.
It currently does not build because of some missing dependencies - I listed them in the bug above - if we do want this in EPEL9 I'll file those bug requests and make them block this.
I've noted some info about a bootstrap loop in a comment, reposting here for clarity:
Note that tomli/flit needs to be bootstrapped. If you want to void extra commits, you can build flit 3.3.0 first, then tomli, then update flit.
Also, to note, the EPEL maintainer is currently set to orphan. While I'm in python-sig so I can branch and build just fine as is, Miro, as the owner could you add me to the ACL and/or set me as the EPEL assignee?
Done both. It was set to orphan because when I took the package I had no intention to maintain the ancient version in EPEL 7 and 8.
We could probably add epel-packagers-sig as collaborator on epel* branches too.
Done.

Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, that makes sense.

And thanks
