Could not build octavia image using local source code

[Wodel Youchi]

Hi,

I am trying to build octavia images using local source code downloaded from and patched.
When building from the Internet it works, when using kolla_build.conf with local directory it does not and I get some python error codes regarding the build.

Here are the steps I took :
1- I am using podman as container engine
2- I've created a local registry
3- I downloded octavia's source code from github version 2023.2
4- I've created a python 3.9 venv, and I did install podman in it and kolla 17.3.0
5- I've applied the patch
6- I created koll_build.conf like this

[DEFAULT]
base = rocky
namespace = kolla
push = true
registry = 192.168.2.35:4000

[octavia-base]
type = local
location = /root/work/octavia

7- I started podman.socket
8- I started the build like this
(2023.2) [root@r9localrepo work]# kolla-build --config-file ./kolla_build.conf --tag 2023.2-1 --engine podman -d --docker-healthchecks --logs-dir /root/work/logs --openstack-release 2023.2 octavia

Results :

     To avoid accidental inclusion of unwanted files or directories,
     setuptools will not proceed with this build.

     If you are trying to create a single distribution with multiple packages
     on purpose, you should not rely on automatic discovery.
     Instead, consider the following options:

     1. set up custom discovery (`find` directive with `include` or `exclude`)
     2. use a `src-layout`
     3. explicitly set `py_modules` or `packages` with a list of names

     To find more information, look for "package discovery" on setuptools docs.

 note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Could you help me?
