Re: [yocto] Arch Linux - Python Newer than Recommend i.e. post 3.12

When I've built on Arch, I've installed a buildtools tarball to work
around Python versions, and it has worked well for me. Here's the
relevant section of the manual:

https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/system-requirements.html#required-git-tar-python-make-and-gcc-versions

The manual states that they are unsupported, but that's not entirely
true, since you can use the buildtools tarball. Relevant section of the
manual is the note in the section on supported Linux distributions:

https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/system-requirements.html#supported-linux-distributions

I've also been meaning to try Distrobox (https://distrobox.it), which
looks like it might make the workflow easier when running officially
supported distributions via a container.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Hugh
