[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 8/9] package/python-pkg-resources: new host package

[James Hilliard]

Setuptools 82 removed pkg_resources, but older U-Boot Binman versions
still use it. Package the standalone PyPA snapshot so these consumers
can keep working when setuptools is updated.

Add a small setuptools pyproject.toml to build the module from its
repository-root layout, and include the license addition proposed
upstream. Supply packaging, jaraco.text and platformdirs explicitly,
as the standalone module imports all three at runtime.

Add a host runtime test covering resource access, dependency resolution
and cache lookup.

[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 9/9] boot/uboot: add host-python-pkg-resources dependency

[James Hilliard]

U-Boot configurations selecting BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_NEEDS_PYTHON3 already
depend on host-python-setuptools, which provided pkg_resources before
its removal in setuptools 82.

Add the standalone host package under the same condition to preserve
pkg_resources availability for older U-Boot releases and vendor trees,
including versions whose Binman still imports it.

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - Tie host-python-pkg-resources to BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_NEEDS_PYTHON3

Thanks for your work on this topic! Shouldn't this patch come last in
the series? Indeed, if you bump setuptools, you break the U-Boot
build, and the whole reason of the series is to figure out a solution
to this problem before bumping setuptools, no?

Thanks!

So I did it this way intentionally because older setuptools bundles
pkg_resources and I didn't want to have a potential situation where
we essentially have two different buildroot package installing code
that has the same pkg_resources namespace.

I'd still like a separate option. We need pkg_resources as a "least bad" 
solution so old U-Boot versions build without Buildroot getting stuck on 
old setuptools, but otherwise it should not be used at all. I know that 
means defconfigs will break until updated to use that option (or 
hopefully a current U-Boot version), but that seems better to me than 
dragging it into every U-Boot build that uses Python.

Best regards,
Fiona
