Validate packaging configuration: uv build vs. hatch build #792
Description
Sorry to nitpick further here, but I'm a bit confused about this change:
Using
uv buildcreates a wheel package without any code. (8200dfe)Isn't this an indication that there's something wrong with the pyproject.toml definition?
uv buildacts as a build frontend, using the build backend defined in[build-system]. Souv buildshould actually install & use hatch itself.

Thank you for bringing this up.
Absolutely. I was equally confused, but it happened like described on my machine (uv 0.9.18, Hatch 1.16.2): The source package tarball was populated properly, but the wheel package included no code just package metadata. Let's try it again, possibly investigate why that happens, and report about it properly, or fix the Hatch configuration.
