All ports committers are allowed to commit to this file. +20250307: +AUTHOR: python@FreeBSD.org + + setuptools has been removed as a RUN_DEPENDS for USE_PYTHON=distutils + ports, except for those operating under Python 2. If your port + needs setuptools to run, you can add it back to RUN_DEPENDS, but + keep in mind that this practice is deprecated and discouraged in + the greater Python ecosystem. + + setuptools includes a module, pkg_resources, that historically + has been used as a runtime API for "finding, introspecting, + activating and using installed Python distributions." These + functions have been superseded by the importlib family and the + packaging package. + + setuptools also includes their own copy of distutils, which is + not present in the base Python distribution starting in 3.12. The + use of distutils primitives directly in consumers is also discouraged + and deprecated. + 20250306: AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org diff --git a/Mk/Uses/python.mk b/Mk/Uses/python.mk index 6c3b0681032a..5159c006b9da 100644 --- a/Mk/Uses/python.mk +++ b/Mk/Uses/python.mk @@ -675,7 +675,6 @@ BUILD_DEPENDS+= ${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}setuptools44>0:devel/py-setuptools44@${P RUN_DEPENDS+= ${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}setuptools44>0:devel/py-setuptools44@${PY_FLAVOR} . else BUILD_DEPENDS+= ${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}setuptools>=63.1.0:devel/py-setuptools@${PY_FLAVOR} -RUN_DEPENDS+= ${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}setuptools>=63.1.0:devel/py-setuptools@${PY_FLAVOR} . endif . endif |
