Setuptools

=======


Changes
-------
* 917: ``setup.py install`` and ``easy_install`` commands are now officially deprecated. Use other standards-based installers (like pip) and builders (like build). Workloads reliant on this behavior should pin to this major version of Setuptools. See `Why you shouldn't invoke setup.py directly <https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html>`_ for more background.
* 1988: Deprecated the ``bdist_rpm`` command. Binary packages should be built as wheels instead.
-- by :user:`hugovk`
* 2785: Replace ``configparser``'s ``readfp`` with ``read_file``, deprecated since Python 3.2.
-- by :user:`hugovk`
* 2823: Officially deprecated support for ``setup_requires``. Users are encouraged instead to migrate to PEP 518 ``build-system.requires`` in ``pyproject.toml``. Users reliant on ``setup_requires`` should consider pinning to this major version to avoid disruption.

Misc
----
* 2762: Changed codecov.yml to configure the threshold to be lower

for specifying file ownership within the produced tarball (similarly
to the corresponding distutils ``sdist`` options).

Documentation changes
---------------------
* 2792: Document how the legacy and non-legacy versions are compared, and reference to the PEP 440 scheme.
