WARNING: Built wheel for flent is invalid: Metadata 1.2 mandates PEP 440 version, but '2.1.1-git-d48ccab' is not

I get a build error when installing directly from master branch.

pypa/pip#8368

Should I be concerned?

  DEPRECATION: flent was installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because a wheel could not be built for it. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to fix the wheel build issue reported above. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8368

Hmm, not really. We attach a -git-$HASH version to builds from the git tree, and it seems pip doesn't like the format of that. Which, well, I didn't even know you could point pip at a git repository like that, so it hasn't really been a big concern. I guess we could change the format (seems to be enough to just switch the prefix to start with a '+' instead of a '-') to make pip happy...
