[Bug 285930] devel/py-setuptools fails to build ERROR Backend subprocess exited when trying to invoke get_requires_for_build_wheel

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=285930 --- Comment #14 from Jan Martin Mikkelsen <janm@transactionware.com> --- (In reply to Charlie Li from comment #12) The build environment was a chroot environment with a fresh installworld, and then building a lot of ports in dependency order. When you write "temporal separation", I read that as "not concurrent." That is what adding a dependency does, one build must finish before the other starts. You seem to be implying something more, like an environment for building py-wheel without py-setuptools, and an environment for building py-setuptools without py-wheel. If there really are requirements like that, it seems that they should fixed (however that is done), or expressed in the port, so that there is a meaningful error when a prerequisite isn't met. I don't know about the Python details. My aim is to remove things that get in the way of a non-Python goal. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
