Hi Ross,

I'm sorry, but I can see a lot of red:

ERROR: nativesdk-python3-3.14.10-r0 do_package_write_rpm: Execution of '/srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/genericx86-64/build/build/tmp/work/x86_64-nativesdk-pokysdk-linux/nativesdk-python3/3.14.10/temp/run.BUILDSPEC.3120668' failed with exit code 1

I can see this on virtually all builds.

I know we had a lot of changes on python3 in the last days, so maybe
this is just conflicting with other changes.

I also note this was tested on yesterday master branch. I know it
conflicts with your other patches merged this morning, so it won't apply
cleanly on master.

Thanks,
Mathieu
