+	  patches to be python 3.12.0 compatible. As nobody has
+	  stepped up to maintain the package and its ever-growing
+	  list of dependencies, along with the other problems, it

-Subject: [PATCH] requirements-min.txt: drop indirect dependencies
-
-For some interesting reason, the crossbar maintainers have decided to
-include indirect dependencies in their requirements-min.txt, i.e
-dependencies that they don't use directly, but that packages they
-depend on themselves depend on.
-
-This makes the packaging in Buildroot confusing, as it means not all
-dependencies in requirements-min.txt should be taken into
-account. Also some of these indirect dependencies cause issues due to
-upper bounds set on the version (which is the case for idna and
-urllib3).
-
-This patch therefore clarifies the situation by removing such indirect
-dependencies from requirements-min.txt. As the patch is obviously not
-upstreamable, it will require some maintenance effort, but that effort
-is anyway already there to sort out direct dependencies from indirect
-dependencies when updating the Buildroot packaging for crossbar.
