[gentoo-dev] Question about python compatibility in dev-python/pathlib2

[Martin Kletzander]

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
