Using pip to install host packages with pyproject.toml-based (PEP 517) builds is problematic: * If build isolation is used, pip will create an isolated build environment, install any build dependencies for the requested package, then build the requested package. It does not appear currently possible to have pip install the build dependencies with hash-checking mode enabled[1]. * If build isolation is not used, any build dependencies must be installed in the build environment before invoking pip to build the requested package[2]. This would require creating a package dependency resolution system to install build dependencies, and any dependencies of dependencies, in the correct order. * It is very difficult to patch the packages installed by pip. This adds a new include file (python3-host-build.mk) with recipes to install host Python packages with pyproject.toml-based builds. This is backwards-compatible with packages that require running setup.py. Besides addressing the above issues (the OpenWrt build system already resolves dependencies between packages, checks all source downloads against known hashes, and supports patching packages), host packages also: * Capture package licensing and maintainer information * Enable uscan checking for package updates/CVEs * Are a known concept for OpenWrt packagers/developers The existing functionality of using host pip to install packages will remain for now, but should be considered deprecated and expected to be removed in the future. This also updates Py3Build/CheckHostPipVersionMatch for the case where the host-pip-requirements directory does not exist or is empty.

OpenWrt packages feed
Description
This is the OpenWrt "packages"-feed containing community-maintained build scripts, options and patches for applications, modules and libraries used within OpenWrt.
Installation of pre-built packages is handled directly by the opkg utility within your running OpenWrt system or by using the OpenWrt SDK on a build system.
Usage
This repository is intended to be layered on-top of an OpenWrt buildroot. If you do not have an OpenWrt buildroot installed, see the documentation at: OpenWrt Buildroot – Installation on the OpenWrt support site.
This feed is enabled by default. To install all its package definitions, run:
./scripts/feeds update packages
./scripts/feeds install -a -p packages
