Description:

Security issue fixed:

  • CVE-2024-50602: Fixed a denial of service in the vendored libexpat's XML_ResumeParser function (bsc#1232590).

Non-security issues fixed:

  • rebuilt for python 3.11 (bsc#1228252).
  • add repack script, do not include packaging/ dir in sources
  • Reduce complexity by not rewriting subpackages at all.
  • Appease factory-auto bot about package src name.
  • Add additional patches fixing the situation with Python 3.10 compatibility.
  • Split out the TW python3 flavors into multibuild using the python_subpackage_only mechanism: Multiple python3 flavors sequentially require too much space and time in one build.
