Should I remove the $(eval $(python-package)) line then?

Yes do let me explain - I am making some contributions to another OSS software (OP-TEE) that uses buildroot, and it requires a python3 variant of the python-cryptography module, which in returns requires python3 variants of its dependencies (python-cffi, python-six, python-pycparser, python-pip). etc.

Shall I re-submit everything in a new patch set (split to multiple patches)?

Thanks
Donald
