No identifying execution failure has been captured.

Not a benchmark task.

03 / ORIGINAL ISSUE TEXT

pypa/setuptools #5002 · read the original issue

The project tries to download arbitrary license files over the internet during build https://github.com/coherent-oss/coherent.licensed/blob/fe0a6e10e7e1bd0dbb7cb83055140cf7ff7d83ee/__init__.py#L18-L20 which most distributions don't allow in non networked builds.

Along with that the build backend used by `coherent.licensed` https://github.com/coherent-oss/coherent.licensed/blob/fe0a6e10e7e1bd0dbb7cb83055140cf7ff7d83ee/pyproject.toml#L2-L3, `coherent.build` is partly not possible to build at least from the git repo as it has a cyclic dependency on itself. This in turn makes setuptools hard to build.

I don't see why setuptools needs to have this dependency, as afaiu everything was fine with license files kept in repo. Maybe it solves some problems but the  `coherent.license` dependency and its dependencies are not very packagable.
