pŕotontricks 1.10.2 fail to build in Slackware

[adcdam]

until version 1.9.1 i was using this patch to be able to build protontricks:

Since version 1.4.1 upstream has used setuptools-scm to determine the
current version number. Unfortunately the package in question does not
support GitHub release archives, using GitHub VCS snapshots would require
retrieving and updating commit hashes corresponding to release tags, and
PyPI tarballs do not contain tests. setuptools_scm_git_archive does not
help because it requires extra files to be included in the repository,
which upstream has not done.

Seeing as we already know the version number, bypass setuptools_scm
altogether and create the version file ourselves. For obvious reasons the
latter has to be done in ebuilds themselves.

when i build protontricks version 1.10.2 i get this

Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs. Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work.

For example, if you're using pip, instead of https://github.com/user/proj/archive/master.zip use git+https://github.com/user/proj.git#egg=proj

can you suply a patch to be able to build protontricks?

The PyPI sdist contain the test files now, so that should be a viable option now if that was the blocking issue for using the upstream sources as-is.

If that doesn't work, the setuptools_scm configuration parameter was moved to pyproject.toml some time ago. Removing these lines from the file could do the trick:

I haven't tested it, however.
