[Slackbuilds-users] sbotools: multiline build options

[J. Milgram]

OK, thanks.

sboremove -a python3-setuptools-opt

... came up with the seven packages you suggest and removed them. (Just 
out of curiosity, what's the easy way  to generate the dependency chain?)

Then, to make sure I was in step with the stock distro:

slackpkg update
slackpkg upgrade-all
slackpkg install-new
slackpkg clean-system

... no packages were removed or installed. (SBo packages being blacklisted.)

Then sboinstall python3-setuptools-opt

... and ignored offers to set build options (python3-setuptools-opt 
only). Confirmed the install queue:

Install queue: python3-flit_core python3-installer
python3-pyproject-hooks python3-build python3-packaging-opt
python3-wheel python3-setuptools-opt

and let it do its thing. Looks like it successfully built and installed 
six of the seven packages, but failed again on python3-setuptools-opt with:

   File 
"/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/importlib_metadata/_itertools.py", 
line 16, in unique_everseen
     k = key(element)
AttributeError: 'PathDistribution' object has no attribute 
'_normalized_name'

(I can provide the whole  traceback if it's of any use.)

To fourtysixandtwo's question:

python3 --version
Python 3.9.25

myhost:~: pip3 check
meson-python 0.18.0 has requirement meson>=0.64.0; python_version < 
"3.12", but you have meson 0.59.4.
meson-python 0.18.0 has requirement packaging>=23.2, but you have 
packaging 21.3

Well, that's interesting. Then did:

ls /var/log/packages/*meson*  ...
var/log/packages/meson-0.59.4-x86_64-1
/var/log/packages/python3-meson-opt-1.10.2-noarch-1_SBo
/var/log/packages/python3-mesonpy-0.18.0-x86_64-1_SBo

meson-0.59.4 seems to be from the stock Slack 15.0 package. "slackpkg 
upgrade meson" didn't find any  new packages. So i tried:

sboupgrade python3-meson-opt

... and it built python3-meson-opt-1.11.1 successfully, but didn't solve 
the python3-setuptools-opt problem.

Could it be that I need to  do something more to cause the  build to 
pick up meson and packaging from /opt/python3.9/site-packages? I note that

PYTHONPATH=/opt/python3.9/site-packages pip3 check
... tells me:
No broken requirements found.

I thought the next  logical thing to try would be:

PYTHONPATH=/opt/python3.9/site-packages sboinstall python3-setuptools-opt

... but this yielded same error as above.

PS thanks again ...
