When a package specifies build_dir in settings (monorepo subdirectory), default_build_sdist was creating tarballs rooted at the build_dir's name instead of {name}-{version} as required by PEP 427.

For example, mlserver-xgboost with build_dir=runtimes/xgboost/ produced mlserver-xgboost-1.7.1.tar.gz unpacking to xgboost/, causing name collisions and identity mismatches.

Changes:

  • Add arcname_root parameter to tar_reproducible() to explicitly set the top-level directory name in archives
  • Pass normalized {name}-{version} as arcname_root in default_build_sdist()
  • Add test to verify correct archive structure with arcname_root

Closes #1315

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds an optional arcname_root to tar_reproducible. When set, archive entries use paths relative to basedir under that root. default_build_sdist now canonicalizes the package name for the output filename and archive root. Tests verify the required root for monorepo-style builds.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 8c44b

The sdist regression test now checks the archive produced by the build path. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8c44b

The change aligns archive contents with the package identity and does not show a new security exposure. Risk remains low rather than minimal because downstream consumer behavior and security coverage are not fully established.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated change affects names in generated sdist artifacts. Repository-local evidence does not establish a new public entrypoint or a downstream trust-boundary change.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The builder supplies a canonicalized archive root, while the calling build flow continues to validate the returned artifact's location and filename.

Add a docstring to default_build_sdist.

This modified public function has no docstring. State that it creates a reproducible sdist from the prepared source tree.

- Line 554: Normalize the source-distribution filename’s name component in
default_build_sdist to match the canonical archive naming convention, using the
existing canonicalize_name transformation rather than the raw requirement name.
Keep the existing arcname_root behavior unchanged.

In `@tests/test_tarballs.py`:
- Around line 113-118: Extend the regression coverage around test_arcname_root
to call default_build_sdist with Requirement("Foo.Bar==1.0") and a
monorepo-style build_dir instead of invoking tarballs.tar_reproducible directly.
Assert that the archive filename uses the normalized foo_bar-1.0 name and that
its complete top-level entry set is exactly {"foo_bar-1.0"}.
