Agenda

• Community meeting follow-up updates

Attending

• Matt McCormick
• Henry Scheiner

Discussion

• hatch-fancy-pypi-readme fixes released in updated version
• added if.state in scikit-build-core state
  • sdist, wheel, or editable, metadata_wheel, and metadata_editable
  • metadata_* runs cmake configuration and reports metadata for tools using hooks
  • supports a regex
• if.cmake-build-type
  • can be set and detected
  • setting as a list
• integrates project.license into search
  • include in sdist
  • similar to hatch
  • determines if is a file
• cmake.version and ninja.version
  • in addition to *.minimum-version
  • ready to merge
  • if tool.scikit-build.minimum-version is 0.8 or newer, .version is used
    • API change but warnings issued based on tool.scikit-build.minimum-version
  • More flexibility on version specification, (not just minimum)
• CMAKE_EXECUTABLE support
  • passed through the environment
  • used instead of introspection
• todos for 0.8
  • reported hash check failures
  • behavior for default use of Windows
    • default
    • Windows with bash, GCC
  • scikit-build pyproject.toml / command line specification of generator
    • compatible with -GNinja CMake passthrough or other ways to specify the generator?
    • Just better documentation for existing mechanisms?
  • cmake.define.VAR tests: include Python 3.10 #565 in progress
  • overrides, add to table or list of configuration variables fix: reduce a warning #564
    • discussed syntax with cibuildwheel and pypa
    • Add a + to the end of a variable name to append to the list
    • Add a + to the beginning of a variable to prepend to the list
    • - discussed but left out for now
    • ++ merge table
  • dynamic metadata
    • pdm backend support in hatch-fancy-pypi-readme
    • dynamic metadata with hatch-fancy-pypi-readme
      • version
      • version special because it is always static, computed first
      • use this or have dynamic metadata variables do a topological sort before evaluation
        • Python 3.9 has topological sort functionality built in
        • More complexity: additional hook
      • Other other possible important metadata
        • folks could want readme to be dependent
        • readme computed last?
    • remove .v1?
• Proposal submitted to PyCon
  • PA, May
