Subject: Fix: Pin setuptools to 70.2.0
X-Git-Url: https://gerrit.linuxfoundation.org/infra/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=refs%2Fchanges%2F38%2F73138%2F1;p=releng%2Fglobal-jjb.git

Fix: Pin setuptools to 70.2.0

A new version of setuptools==72.2.0 is not compatible with
python 3.12.4 and JJB 6.3.0 which results in the following
errors. This requires adding pkg_resources.extern to the
hidden imports for setuptools >= 70.0

ERROR:stevedore.extension:Could not load 'delete':
No module named 'pkg_resources.extern'

Issue: RELENG-5555
