Arch Linux User Repository

I began to update this but ran into some trouble. I see also that 3.0.0 is coming out soon, so I will complete the migration then.

Thanks! It builds fine for me.

But actually I'm just realizing now that the PKGBUILD should be modernized to avoid executing setup.py directly (also python install complains about this, as this procedure is marked deprecated by upstream since 2021).

Instead, you should follow this (PEP 517 conformant) procedure and see what happens. :)

Hi @MarsSeed, I've updated the package. Can you verify if the build works for you? It worked for me without adding a patch file, and I get the correct value from fortls --version.

The now merged (but not yet tagged) pull request #330 fixes the setuptools_scm_git_archive issue by removing it from pyproject.toml.

Packaging is now broken because python-setuptools-scm in repo is already at v8.0.4, and the deprecated python-setuptools-scm-git-archive does not work with that.

But as per my verification, fortls' upstream doesn't have any public .git_archival.txt file in their repo root.

Therefore, makedepends=python-setuptools-scm is a drop-in replacement of "setuptools-scm-git-archive", and it is safe to patch pyproject.toml to remove the line referencing the latter.

Please kindly do so, otherwise this package cannot be made via makepkg or devtools. Thank you in advance.

In the meantime, please kindly add depends=('python-packaging). setup.cfg defines it as a runtime dependency (install_requires). Thank you in advance.

Scratch that; my assumption was incorrect.

Turns out there is a (simple) migration guide in setuptools_scm_git_archive's README.rst. Devs should check it, and if necessary, implement the outlined change, to ensure compatibility with vanilla setuptools-scm.

Thank you, @fosskers.

AFAIK, upstream also only has to remove "setuptools_scm_git_archive" from pyproject.toml, without any other change. Everything should be working the same with setuptools-scm.

But nevertheless it is the best that you created a GitHub issue, so developers will also be aware of the deprecation, and will have a chance to verify full compatibility with setuptools-scm.

Hi @MarsSeed, thanks for the report. I've forwarded the suggestion upstream: https://github.com/fortran-lang/fortls/issues/326

This needs depends=python-packaging.

Also please kindly patch pyproject.toml to remove the line containing "setuptools_scm_git_archive".

That module is long deprecated, and its functionality is included in python-setuptools-scm. Also, the module is broken with the upcoming version of python-setuptools-scm 8.x+, already in extra-testing repo.

After making the above change, this package should only have makedepends=python-setuptools-scm.
