@MSchmoecker thanks for reporting!

There is unfortunately no way to include Git repos as dependency in newer setuptools versions.

There is a workaround:
https://pypi.org/project/setuptools-git-versioning/

, but I haven't had time to explore it in more detail.

Aas-core-codegen depends on aas-core-meta repo for tests, but we should decouple them. I'll try to do this in the next few days.

Hi @MSchmoecker ,
Just a short update on this issue. @otto-ifak is actively working on #527. It is quite a large feature cutting pretty much through all the modules. To avoid fixing 1001 merge conflict, we decided to merge #527, and then I'll take care of this issue (which is comparatively small).

In terms of timeline, the big bulk of #527 should be finished till end of April 2025; the final merge is expected towards the end of May 2025.

If you want to use aas-core-codegen in the meanwhile, please consider going back to Python 3.10 and using older versions of setuptools and pip.

@MSchmoecker we refactored the packaging to pyproject.toml (#558). The issue should be fixed now. Please re-open the issue if it still persists.
