(2) Build oe-core python modules without distutils and see if there are any problems. (3) Build meta-python and see the same. (4) As a stop gap, move distutils classes to meta-python. Eventually, we will most likely have to figure out a way of using wheels. Some packaging is not even using setuptools anymore and that trend is likely to increase. 91852 3 tim.orling 2021-10-28 17:11:05 +0000 waf.bbclass and sanity.bbclass both import distutils, so it is not only the python3 module building infrastructure (distutils*.bbclass) that needs to change. Other upstream things like glib-2.0, gpgme and bind also import or use methods from distutils. 91853 4 tim.orling 2021-10-28 17:16:26 +0000 Porting from Distutils: https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/distutils-legacy.html PEP 632 -- Deprecate distutils module: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0632/ Packaging and distributing projects: https://packaging.python.org/guides/distributing-packages-using-setuptools/ 91854 5 tim.orling 2021-10-28 17:30:17 +0000 Things in scripts/ also need to change: wic, buildhistory-diff, recipetool 92076 6 tim.orling 2021-11-26 04:40:19 +0000 RFC series sent to oe-core list: https://lore.kernel.org/openembedded-core/cover.1637900380.git.timothy.t.orling@intel.com/T/#t 92077 7 tim.orling 2021-11-26 05:20:23 +0000 Import distutils.version to lib/bb/version https://lore.kernel.org/bitbake-devel/20211126051800.2364615-1-timothy.t.orling@intel.com/T/#u This is a standalone with implementations of LooseVersion and StrictVersion which are not replicated elsewhere. 92316 8 tim.orling 2022-01-13 15:57:40 +0000 Series updated: https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky-contrib/log/?h=timo/deprecate_distutils_14610_v2 And merged: (beginning with) https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?id=5e36659ee314fdde2a357fa40a2109a9ebc7530d Docs changes are in review. 92352 9 tim.orling 2022-01-18 20:49:38 +0000 Docs changes are merged as are the fixes to meta-openembedded (and meta-python2).
