Paul, All,

On 2021-11-17 22:06 +0000, Paul Cercueil spake thusly:

So, as we've discussed on IRC, this is far from sufficient to make
linux-5.16+ build.

o first, this is about an as-yet unreleased kernel version, so we are
not in a hurry to fix this before our 2021.11 release.

Second, as you reported, it also needs dtschema, which is not packaged
in Buildroot yet, nd not even packaged in Debian.

dtschema is written in python3, so this means that the Linux kernel now
gained a build dependency on host-python3 and a bunch of other host
python modules:

    dtschema
    |-> ruamel.yaml >= 0.15.69
    |-> jsonschema >= 4.1.2
    |   |-> attrs >= 17.4.0
    |   `-> pyrsistent >= 0.14.0, !=0.17.0, !=0.17.1, !=0.17.2
    `-> rfc3987
        `-> regex (optional, but sine we already have it)

I've tried adding them with scanpypi, but it exploded on me. I spent way
too much time trying to understand the issue, time that would have been
better spent adding/bumping those packages. But meh...

Sigh...

Yann E. MORIN.
