+Subject: [PATCH] skip verifying the availability of setuptools
+
+The setup script checks is setuptools is available (with the correct minimum
+version), using setuptool's pkg_resouces modules. Setuptools has dropped
+this module in version 82, making this import fail.
+
+This patch skips the availability check of Setuptools, it is expected to be
+always available from oe-core - the patch itself is oe-specific.
+
+Upstream has already prepared a solution to rework their setup script to
+work with the latest Setuptools, however that patch builds on several other
+patches.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [oe-specific]

Also, add a patch to be able to build with Setuptools 82. This patch is oe-specific, but upstream has already merged[1] a patch that should make it compatible with the latest Setuptools. It however seems to require multiple patches to apply clean. The patch in this change is expected to be a short term workaround until the next version is released. Changelog: Features - Upgraded cython to 3.0.x - Add support for DSE 6.9.x and HCD releases to CI - Add execute_concurrent_async and expose execute_concurrent_* in Session Bug Fixes - Update geomet to align with requirements.txt - Connection failure to SNI endpoint when first host is unavailable - Maintain compatibility with CPython 3.13 Others - Remove duplicated condition in primary key check - Remove Python 3.8 which reached EOL on Oct 2024, update cryptography lib to 42 - Remove obsolete urllib2 from ez_setup.py - Remove stale dependency on sure - Removed 2.7 Cpython defines [1]: https://github.com/apache/cassandra-python-driver/pull/1268 Signed-off-by: Gyorgy Sarvari <skandigraun@gmail.com> --- ...fying-the-availability-of-setuptools.patch | 34 +++++++++++++++++++ ....bb => python3-cassandra-driver_3.29.3.bb} | 7 ++-- 2 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 meta-python/recipes-devtools/python/python3-cassandra-driver/0001-skip-verifying-the-availability-of-setuptools.patch rename meta-python/recipes-devtools/python/{python3-cassandra-driver_3.29.2.bb => python3-cassandra-driver_3.29.3.bb} (74%)
