pip-24.1b1 doesn't tolerate anymore a contraint like 'python-hdf4>=0.10.0+dummy' about pip

[Laurent-Dx]

Local version identifiers are NOT permitted in this version specifier.

In packaging 21.3, which was vendored by pip 24.0, this was not enforced. Could you use the == specifier instead?

I just replaced per

python-hdf4>=0.10.0

and the error itself has gone away.... so the problem looks rather the "+" than the ">="

[Laurent-Dx]

The problem is the combination of the local version identifier (the part after the +) and the >= specifier, not one or the other in isolation.

it's a "minimal version" contraints.txt file, from the early days of pip resolver, so the ">=" has to stay, and so the "+" to go, in my case.

so if it's a normal evolution of "packaging", I will just adapt.
