Setup tools 77 metadata version conflicts with locked requirements file

[djbucci]

The requirements.txt file in this project limits twine less than version 6. However version 6 is required for compatibility with package metadata version 2.4. This means that any Python projects using setup tools>=77.0 as its build backend will fail to twine upload.

Is there a reason why the twine version used in the publish stage cannot be incremented?

Hi, thanks for bringing this to my attention.

There is no reason for limiting the twine version below 6. The dependencies just haven't been updated for some time. It would probably be best to update all packages to their latest version.

Would you like to create a PR for this?

This issue should be fixed with the latest release semantic-release-pypi@5.0.0
