Dist failure for Fedora, CentOS, EPEL

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

I maintain the python-pathspec package for Fedora and CentOS, Rocky Linux, RHEL etc.

Since version 0.10.0, the setup.py file was removed. I tried adapting our files to use python -m build, bdist_wheel, tox, but after 40 minutes I fail to get it working.

Is there a documentation on how to build and install the package now that setup.py was removed? I couldn’t find it in READMEs, changelogs and Git history.

Was is the recommended way to:

build the package? (previously with 0.9.0: python setup.py sdist)
install the package on the system, inside /usr/lib/python3.x/site-packages/...? (previously with 0.9.0: python setup.py install)
test the package once installed? (I guess tox is enough now, previously with 0.9.0: python setup.py test)

Thanks in advance.

I’ll work on restoring support for setup.py tonight so that it’ll work as it previously did. After briefly looking at setuptools’s docs, it should be simple.

Thank you @cpburnz! I created packages for Fedora and EPEL.
