There's no need for a shim; basically use flit to build a wheel
and then
use the wheel installation macros instead.
Wait, we have wheel installation macros?
/me goes and checks
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-rpm-macros/blob/master/f/macros...
Huh, so we do. Somehow I managed to miss that :)
How would folks feel about adding a link to the dist-git macro file to the
macros section in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Macros ?
I'm not currently inclined to add the information directly to the wiki page
as:
- I don't like wikis in general as a docs management tool
- the wiki only shows one version, but the RPM with the default macros is
branched along with the rest of Fedora
We could potentially add something to
https://fedora-python.readthedocs.io/
about Fedora's RPM packaging tools for Python projects, but that would be
significantly more work than just linking to dist-git.
Cheers,
Nick.
