Scikit-build (classic) 1.0 internals

[henryiii]

Hi,

I'm currently working on swapping out scikit-build (classic)'s internals for scikit-build-core, and I have AI running lots of downstream projects and looking for regressions. It found that this project currently uses scikit-build internals. I've been able to patch some of them back in as shims, but dpctl using skbuild.setuptools_wrap, which has internals that are simply not there anymore.

See scikit-build/scikit-build#1185. I can try to propose something here if you'd like. The best thing would be to use scikit-build-core without setuptools directly.

Hi Henry,

Thank you for opening this issue. We have been working to more to scikit-build-core in the near future, so it's good that you pointed this out, so we can prioritize it a bit. There is a feature branch, feature/build-with-scikit-build-core, as you can see, that has some of the work done.

If you'd like to look it over and add to it, the only work remaining as far as I'm concerned is figuring out the version tagging in a way that is acceptable to the internal CI we use and maybe aligned to PEP 440
