Therefore, I'm thinking of introducing pynose as a drop in replacement of deprecated nose. Pynose uses the same namespace as nose, but provides python3dist(pynose). Thus adding Provides: for nose would make it a drop-in replacement for packages currently depending on nose.
FTR We MUST NOT add RPM Provides for python3dist(nose) unless we package nose dist-info metadata.
For example %pyproject_buildrequires queries Python for installed packages (hence it reads the packaged dist-info/egg-info metadata) and it will see nose is not installed.
It will then query dnf to install python3dist(nose). dnf will install pynose.
%pyproject_buildrequires will see nose is not installed. It will query dnf to install python3dist(nose) again. dnf will install nothing.
The %pyproject_buildrequires phase will end prematurely when dnf installs nothing.
