Support Metadata-Version in package.metadata.pyo3-pack about maturin HOT 4 CLOSED

Are you sure that artifactory supports Metadata-Version up to 2.0? The 2.0 was draft was discarded and 2.1 is essentially 1.2 with some small additions. The specification of Metadata-Version says :

Version of the file format; legal values are “1.0”, “1.1”, “1.2” and “2.1”.

From what I could find with google, there's also this artifactory bug for metadata version 2.1 which seems to have been resolved.

First of all, a big thank you for looking into this issue. I have to confess I am not sure of the 2.0 support, I have assumed it to be the case after downloading some wheels from our repo and wheel unpacking them. They all had metadata 2.0.
Further, unfortunately, our company size somehow means that updates are slow and I have limited leverage in speeding up updating artifactory - that's why I am interested in working around the problem although I know it's probably not the optimal way. I currently unpack the pyo3-built wheel, replace the string 2.1 with 2.0 (yes, I feel dirty), pack it and upload it. My selfish thought was that by making the version user-configurable I would be able to work around the problem more easily...

I'm sorry, but I don't want to support bugs in old software that require violating the metadata PEPs. IMHO dirty patching and waiting for a software update is the most reasonable way to deal with a case like that.

Absolutely reasonable. Thanks for looking into that anyways!
