python3-setuptools integrated in manual.md

[mattih11]

While testing on Ubuntu 24.10 I realized that python3-distutils can not be installed. Using apt install python3-setuptools is working. I added this to the manual, to help other users circumvent this problem

Thanks much @mattih11 for improving the docs!
Could you git send-email to isar-users@googlegroups.com, as described in https://github.com/ilbers/isar/blob/next/CONTRIBUTING.md#formatting-patches? That is, including Signed-off-by, etc. We don't use PRs but can't disable this feature on github.
As for the contents, I'd prefer to see specific instructions for specific Debian distros, meaning the default document flow is valid for Debian stable (bookworm ATM), with notes for specific releases (like bullseye, trixie, etc.) instead of the "if... try" clause.
Also, I personally prefer apt-get in code and docs due to its guaranteed interface (I know we haven't been 100% consistent on this in the past).

As python3-setuptools already depends on python3-distutils in distros where it is present we can just always install python3-setuptools.
Moreover, because Debian Stretch is no more supported, I think we can remove even if >= buster condition and add python3-setuptools into generic Isar build dependency list.

Thanks Anton, I will do this as described in your feedback. As I'm quite new to Isar and started yesterday in my free time, I was quite sure that this won't comply with your guidelines right away, anyways I wanted to open that topic if other users run into the same issue. I will do my homework and come back with a good proposal. KR Matthias. Anton Mikanovich ***@***.***> schrieb am Mi., 18. Dez. 2024, 11:02:
