micwoj92> tested in podman base-devel image, I hope it is now all.

Added runtime dependency

Thannks for quick fix. It seems to also need python-platformdirs dependency.

Ok, so they told me I can download sources from PyPI by using URL. So I redone it by that way.

I hope that is better now

Well it was done becase mpremote is littlebit specific.

It is part of micropython repository which is now 122MB big. If you think peoples will be happy with downloading 122MB repository and waste data transfer just because of 240kB tool mpremote to build it by "nicer way". Then I am not sure about that.

I do not know if is better to add git as build dependency and try something with "spare" clone or just make script, which will download files one-by-one from raw.github.

That is why it was done by pip way, also it is recommended way of install by mpremote documentation. There is not guaranteed that what I will build from git tag will be same as in pip repository, so communication with micropython developers would be harder because of possible different versions.

Maybe I can try to force micropython developers to split that tool to separate repository, but I do not think they will do it just because of me.

Let me think, what you think.

EDIT> I posted Issue about that to micropython repo https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/18410 So lets see what they will do
