Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ref-manual/system-requirements.rst: make python3-websockets a default host requirement
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 11:52:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420-python3-websockets-requirement-v2-1-a273a01a6f44@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420-python3-websockets-requirement-v2-0-a273a01a6f44@bootlin.com>

When configuring the project through bitbake-setup we can choose the
"poky-with-sstate" configuration, which requires the python3-websockets
package.

Add this package as a host requirement (under different names depending
on the distro).

Alma, CentOS, and Rocky have a requirement on the buildtools tarball,
which already contains this package, so we don't need to add it for
them.

On Ubuntu 22.04 and Debian 11, the version of python3-websockets
provided by the distribution is too old compared to what we need [1].
Add a separate set of instructions for these.
