1.2.17 pypi ships without LICENSE.rst file.

[Odilhao]

Looks like starting with version 1.2.16, the pypi tar.gz distribution is not shipping with LICENSE.rst is this expected?

We just caught this up in our automation at Foreman.

tar -tvf deprecated-1.2.17.tar.gz | grep LICENSE

tar -tvf deprecated-1.2.16.tar.gz | grep LICENSE

tar -tvf deprecated-1.2.15.tar.gz | grep LICENSE
-rw-r--r-- laurent/staff  1081 2024-11-14 09:48 deprecated-1.2.15/LICENSE.rst

Hi @Odilhao,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

During the build process for the .tar.gz and .whl packages of the Deprecated project, I encountered a compatibility issue related to the LICENSE.rst file. Specifically, the presence of this file caused a problem in the wheel. This seems to be tied to the transition in the wheel format from version 2.1 to 2.2 (see the Metadata-Version: 2.2 field in the METADATA file within dist-info).

At the time, removing the LICENSE.rst file allowed the build to succeed, which is why the recent releases omitted it. However, it seems this approach is not sufficient, as it has introduced an issue to build the Fedora package in automation.

After investigating, I believe the issue was caused by an outdated Deprecated.egg-info directory during the build process. I’ve since cleaned up the environment, rebuilt the packages, and confirmed that the problem is resolved.

I will release version v1.2.18 shortly, which will include the missing LICENSE.rst file. Thank you for catching this, and I appreciate your patience.

Regards

Actually, I still have the issue when publishing on PyPi (test) with uv:

% uv publish --index testpypi                                           
warning: `uv publish` is experimental and may change without warning

But I don’t have the issue with twine:

Thanks @laurent-laporte-pro , I can see now the package test passing with the addition of LICENSE file.
