Hi @simonmichal @matthewfeickert ! I just noticed on my codeql github actions that xrootd no longer works being installed (with pip).. i also tried on a local ubuntu 20 machine and i can confirm the lack of functionality .. any idea about this? the setuptools is up to date (65.6.0) and the error: ``` Processing /home/adrian/tmp/pip-install-lbfysn9e/xrootd_b81d3a0f65dd4bcc834e863b1ab5c4dd/xrootdbuild/bindings/python Preparing metadata (setup.py): started Preparing metadata (setup.py): finished with status 'error' error: subprocess-exited-with-error × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully. │ exit code: 1 ╰─> [14 lines of output] usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...] or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...] or: setup.py --help-commands or: setup.py cmd --help error: invalid command 'egg_info' Version file path: /home/adrian/tmp/pip-install-lbfysn9e/xrootd_b81d3a0f65dd4bcc834e863b1ab5c4dd/bindings/python/VERSION Version from file: 5.5.1 XRootD library dir: /home/adrian/tmp/pip-install-lbfysn9e/xrootd_b81d3a0f65dd4bcc834e863b1ab5c4dd/xrootdbuild/src XRootD src include dir: /home/adrian/tmp/pip-install-lbfysn9e/xrootd_b81d3a0f65dd4bcc834e863b1ab5c4dd/src XRootD bin include dir: /home/adrian/tmp/pip-install-lbfysn9e/xrootd_b81d3a0f65dd4bcc834e863b1ab5c4dd/xrootdbuild/src Version: 5.5.1 [end of output] note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. error: metadata-generation-failed × Encountered error while generating package metadata. ╰─> See above for output. note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip. hint: See above for details.
