Declare incompatibility with setuptools >= 80#699
Merged
Conversation
This release of setuptools has begun the final process of dropping support for the features we use to enable --symlink-install of Python packages. Unless we can find a way to move forward with what they're proposing, we should advertise that we're incompatible with future releases of setuptools.

Is there an open colcon-core issue that enumerates these features / the current status of this effort? We could potentially use the Community Call that Kat runs to get contributors together to mature the post-setuptools alternatives. |
