Basic idea is instead of replicating scm metadata, just take them from the scm
I'm happy to ensure setuptools is no longer a hard dependency
https://github.com/sdispater/poetry/issues/140 :)
@madig for extra context - im the maintainer of setuptools_scm and im willing to change it so setuptools wont be required for use from poetry
I was just about to create another issue like #140 and #185 :)
@sdispater would you please comment on this? I'd be interested in contributing as well.
btw I'd bundle it with https://github.com/Changaco/setuptools_scm_git_archive
Let's close this in favor of #140 + #672 (demo discussion) so that it would be 1 single place with info, not 3 issues asking the same :)
Closing this in favor of #693.
