Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] ref-manual/system-requirements.rst: instruct to install a buildtools tarball
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 14:15:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420-python3-websockets-requirement-v3-2-22bfa3f411cc@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420-python3-websockets-requirement-v3-0-22bfa3f411cc@bootlin.com>

I noticed that openSUSE Leap 15.6 provide Python 3.6, which is not
supported by BitBake (which requires Python >3.9). Instruct to use a
buildtools tarball, which is how this is done on the Autobuilder.
