Within the comment to the (once again unwarranted) out-of-date flag the
OP claims the removal of Distutils in Python 3.12 will make meteo-qt
incompatible with the recent Python packaging standards as defined in
PEP 517.
This is wrong. Python 3.12 does not come with changes relevant in this
regard.
Of course, meteo-qt will have to be adopted to those standards in the
long run. But this should certainly happen upstream, not at the
packaging stage.
However, meteo-qt is currently relying on some features provided by
Distutils only. And this does make it incompatible with Python 3.12.
I've just filed an upstream bug addressing both aspects [1].
Thus, everything that can reasonably be done is done, there is no need
for "maintainer attention" and this request is invalid.
