Hello, community!
While writing some python-based recipes using setuptools3 I have noticed
that ${datadir} is always installed in the staging area even though there
is no content under it. This causes QA issues. I found out that the
distutils bbclass contains the following line which causes this b
distutils has been removed from upcoming python 3.12, so I don't think
anyone would be particularly interested in what that class is doing :)
The concern should be what are you going to do with all these recipes
when you will be transitioning to a version of yocto without
distutils.
