Description Tim Orling 2022-12-15 23:07:07 UTC 
Our aging code base is still using distutils

e.g. https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/updates/35783/

/opt/layerindex/layerindex/update_layer.py:22: DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives
  from distutils.version import LooseVersion

Comment 1 Tim Orling 2022-12-15 23:12:31 UTC 
LooseVersion is one of the items that does not have a setuptools replacement, but we have bb.utils.vercmp_string_op if it can be used.

e.g. https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?id=f0627490711f29f0e308a0afc4fc4f8e54f58dec
Comment 2 Tim Orling 2022-12-15 23:18:50 UTC 
The actual breaking code (because of update to ubuntu:jammy and Python 3.10.y) is
ImportError: cannot import name 'Mapping' from 'collections' (/usr/lib/python3.10/collections/__init__.py)
Comment 3 Tim Orling 2022-12-15 23:20:18 UTC 
Above was for gatesgarth... probably need someone to just turn off those older branch updates.
