Orphaning python-flit

[Miro Hrončok]

Hello.

Now when python-flit-core has been split out of python-flit, I do no longer 
have a use-case for python-flit and hence I have orphaned it.

$ repoquery -q --repo=rawhide{,-source} --whatrequires flit
python-perky-0:0.8.2-3.fc39.src
python-pydyf-0:0.8.0-1.fc40.src
python-pyrpm-0:0.14.1-3.fc39.src
python-signature-dispatch-0:1.0.1-4.fc39.src
python-vecrec-0:0.3.1-11.fc40.src
weasyprint-0:60.2-1.fc40.src

The packages would probably build fine with flit-core (happy to help with that 
if you are interested).

Hi Miro,

Thanks for the announcement!

For context, flit-core is the PEP 517 build backend that we need for use
with %pyproject_* in RPM builds. python3-flit provides the flit CLI that
can be used for basic Python project management (publishing to PyPI and
such). python3-flit and python3-flit-core used to be built from the same
SRPM, but we recently split it into two separate packages to simply the
specfile and help with RHEL builds.

While Python developers can always install the flit CLI with pipx or in
a virtual environment, it is nice to have a global version managed by
the system package manager.

I'll probably end up taking the package.

Regardless, those packages should switch to using flit-core to build.
Pulling in all of flit is not necessary for RPM builds.

I patched python-signature-dispatch[1] and python-vecrec[2] so that they 
now use flit-core. I’m glad you pointed out that they were using flit.

Indeed, python-pydyf and weasyprint build just fine with flit-core so I 
changed that.
