Noticed this when trying to optimize my minimal image. I would love to see this in Scarthgap as well if the patch is accepted.

This change saves ~600KiB according to buildhistory output (given no other recipe is asking for python3-2to3).

That does beg the question of why setuptools was part of a minimal image in the first place? Was that a requirement of yours, or is something pulling setuptools into all images?

Hi Ross,

My minimal image requires gobject-introspection which for some reason is requiring setuptools at runtime. This was not a requirement in Kirkstone, and only appeared when I migrated my project to Scarthgap.

See: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/recipes-gnome/gobject-introspection/gobject-introspection_1.78.1.bb?h=scarthgap#n192

I haven't looked into if this is correct or what part of gobject-introspection requires setuptools at runtime. On Kirkstone, my image ran fine without both distutils and setuptools at runtime.

To add to this topic, I found https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gobject-introspection/-/issues/395

I wonder if setuptools is a build-time dependency only.

Yes, quite possibly.

I think the real issue is that we place *.typelib data,
libgirepository library and g-i tools into the same target package.
The tools are what requires setuptools, but almost everyone would not
need them on the target. No idea why this wasn't raised or noticed
until now.

I guess the tools could be split into ${PN}-tools?

Creating a ${PN}-tools package sounds reasonable to me.

As you’ve a vested interest here, will you be able to produce a patch?

Thanks,

I can try, it's not very high priority for me but should be doable within 2 weeks given I don't see any unexpected problems :) In my mind adding tools to PACKAGES and creating FILES:${PN}-tools should do the trick (And perhaps a separate RDEPENDS for tools package).

I don’t mean to push but will this patch be accepted? It will be required anyway once Python 3.13 is released. The 2to3 module will be removed from the standard library in Python 3.13.

Normally I'd say there's no need to worry and it's in a staging
branch, but I don't see it there this time:
