"ZIP does not support timestamps before 1980" when installing wheel

[spinus]

I'm using current master 2ff7f06
pypi2nix failed on building wheel (wheel is not specified in requirements.txt)

Is there any way to fix this?

can you check if this work with current master. i know i fixed this issue in the past. please reopen the ticket and provide me with requirements.txt that you use to generate nix expressions from.

[spinus]

cool, thanks

[emorikawa]

For those coming in from Google on this error, it's very possible there are in fact files that have corrupt touch dates older than 1980. This raises when the mtime of a file in the packaging tree is older than 1980. This even happened for me when zip_safe was set to False

You can see if you have any of these files with: find . -mtime +13700 -ls

My fix was to touch offending files and exclude some unnecessary dirs in my Manifest.in.

See also NixOS/nixpkgs#270 and aws/aws-cli#2639 and noirbizarre/django-eztables#16

[psychok7]

@emorikawa any idea how we could get these corrupt touch dates? i removed the files that find . -mtime +13700 -ls showed and it works now. but i have several other files with a 1970 date

[mrculler]

Note for anyone else coming here from Google - you may get this issue even after recursively touching all possibly offending files if (like me) you're on an embedded system that hasn't had its date set! So newly created files are marked as being from 1970.
