Thanks, I now understand what pathlib2 does, but more importantly found
out it is not really needed in that case making the fix even easier =)

Hi,

Pathlib2 is a backport, as such it doesn't really make sense to add 3.10 and 
3.11 to compat. The package from the overlay probably should adjust its 
dependencies to only depend on pathlib2 when instaling for 3.9 or 3.8. This can 
be accomplished with the python_gen_cond_dep function (see docmenttion of 
python-r1.eclass).

Best regards,
Andrew

Hi all,

I noticed that a package from an overlay fails to install due to it
requiring pathlib2 with python_targets with 3.10 and/or 3.11.  So I
checked pathlib2's setup.py [0] that it supports newer python versions
and wanted to update the ebuild, but noticed

My question is whether I should:

1) do some more research/work to bump the versions or

2) update the upstream in case this is something deprecated order

3) whether the updated ebuild with newer python versions should live in
  the overlay instead.

Thanks for any (non-null) pointers,
Martin
