If so, do we actually need instructions without (e.g. the opensuse_essential_15.6.sh above)? Cheers, Quentin

Probably, but to be fair I'm trying to match what is installed on the Autobuilder (and that is known to work), and I'd like to avoid dropping one requirement by mistake. That's a bit inefficient, but a bit safer. I wish the Autobuilder list of requirements was public and allow my to test things but I don't have such an environment :/ Antonin

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.
