./devel/py-wheel, Tool for manipulating Python wheel files

[ Image CVSweb ] [ Image Homepage ] [ Image RSS ] [ Image Required by ] [ Image Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.46.3, Package name: py313-wheel-0.46.3, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

This is a command line tool for manipulating Python wheel files, as
defined in PEP 427. It contains the following functionality:

- Convert .egg archives into .whl
- Unpack wheel archives
- Repack wheel archives
- Add or remove tags in existing wheel archives

Historical note

This project used to contain the implementation of the setuptools
bdist_wheel command, but as of setuptools v70.1, it no longer needs
wheel installed for that to work. Thus, you should install this only
if you intend to use the wheel command line tool!

Log message:
py-wheel: updated to 0.46.3

**0.46.3 (2026-01-22)**

- Fixed ``ImportError: cannot import name '_setuptools_logging' from 'wheel'`` when
  installed alongside an old version of setuptools and running the ``bdist_wheel``
  command

**0.46.2 (2026-01-22)**

- Restored the ``bdist_wheel`` command for compatibility with ``setuptools`` \ 
older than
  v70.1
- Importing ``wheel.bdist_wheel`` now emits a ``FutureWarning`` instead of a
  ``DeprecationWarning``
- Fixed ``wheel unpack`` potentially altering the permissions of files outside of the
  destination tree with maliciously crafted wheels (CVE-2026-24049)

**0.46.1 (2025-04-08)**

- Temporarily restored the ``wheel.macosx_libfile`` module

**0.46.0 (2025-04-03)**

- Dropped support for Python 3.8
- Removed the ``bdist_wheel`` setuptools command implementation and entry point.
  The ``wheel.bdist_wheel`` module is now just an alias to
  ``setuptools.command.bdist_wheel``, emitting a deprecation warning on import.
- Removed vendored ``packaging`` in favor of a run-time dependency on it
- Made the ``wheel.metadata`` module private (with a deprecation warning if it's
  imported
- Made the ``wheel.cli`` package private (no deprecation warning)
- Fixed an exception when calling the ``convert`` command with an empty description
  field

Log message:
py-wheel: COMMENT should start with a capital.

Log message:
devel/py-wheel: Fix DESCR and COMMENT

Both DESCR and COMMENT did not actually describe what this package
does.  Steal text from upstream README for DESCR, and summarize it for
COMMENT.

Note that according to upstream, this package is not needed for
building packages, as that functionality is now in setuptools.

Log message:
py-wheel: update to 0.45.0.

**0.45.0 (2024-11-08)**

- Refactored the ``convert`` command to not need setuptools to be installed
- Don't configure setuptools logging unless running ``bdist_wheel``
- Added a redirection from ``wheel.bdist_wheel.bdist_wheel`` to
  ``setuptools.command.bdist_wheel.bdist_wheel`` to improve compatibility with
  ``setuptools``' latest fixes.

  Projects are still advised to migrate away from the deprecated  module and import
  the ``setuptools``' implementation explicitly. (PR by @abravalheri)
