2.1.0 changed the build process to use setuptools as distutils is
depricated. There was a bug in the code I wrote.  This bug is fixed in
2.2.0.
 
  issue2551169 - setup.py enters endless loop on gentoo linux python2
  installation.

This seems to be affecting more distributions that just gentoo.  ALl
my test/CI boxes are derivatives of debian (mint, ubuntu, Raspberry Pi
OS) so I didn't see the issue.  Guess nobody tested the beta on a
different platform 8-(. Details at:

  https://issues.roundup-tracker.org/issue2551169

The patch is at:

  https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/code/ci/2e568d6f72a4

Let me know if this fixes it for you.

Have a great day and sorry for the broken code.
