Most Linux distributions offer the
pyxattr
module, including openSUSE Tumbleweed. Going forward, we will use thepyxattr
module by default as a dependency and only switch back to theother
xattr
module when on older SUSE Linux distributions that lack thepyxattr
module.Note that because kiwi uses
setuptools
to create the CLI entry points, kiwi checks the Python dependencies before executing, so we change the dependency in thesetup.py
accordingly so that it will not fail to start.
