xgboost python package fails on pip check with pip 24.2 on osx-arm64

[lorepirri]

pip 24.2 introduces a check on the tag within the wheel file.

xgboost has a hatch custom build hook that overrides the creation of the tag.

See: https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/blob/v2.1.1/python-package/pyproject.toml#L48
Which should trigger:

xgboost/python-package/hatch_build.py

Line 15 in 9c9db12

return f"py3-none-{tag_platform}"

While building the version 2.1.1 of the package for the conda ecosystem, the resulting tag for the wheel file on osx-arm64 has the Tag: py3-none-macosx_11_1_arm64 but among the platform tags that are checked, there is no macosx_11_1_arm64 platform tag and the pip check fails with:

xgboost 2.1.1 is not supported on this platform

As far as I understand from the issues and PRs relative to this problem, the idea of pip for the Darwin platform, was to flatten the version to macosx_11_0 for all of the 11.x.

This seems to occur for Python version 3.12 but not on [3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11].

Workaround

I disabled the custom build hook for osx-arm64 and, it seems to work fine.
