Add python-packaging to mesa-asahi-edge's makedepends

[nosada]

It seems makepkg fails on mesa-asahi-edge with the following error:

...
Program python3 found: YES (/usr/bin/python3)

mesa-asahi-20230904/meson.build:876:2: ERROR: Problem encountered: Python (3.x) mako module >= 0.8.0 required to build mesa.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/asahi/mesa/-/blob/asahi-20230904/meson.build?ref_type=tags#L867-L877 requires distutils, but newer Python (>= 3.12) doesn't have distutils due to PEP 632:

prog_python = import('python').find_installation('python3')
has_mako = run_command(
  prog_python, '-c',
  '''
from distutils.version import StrictVersion
import mako
assert StrictVersion(mako.__version__) >= StrictVersion("0.8.0")
  ''', check: false)
if has_mako.returncode() != 0
  error('Python (3.x) mako module >= 0.8.0 required to build mesa.')
endif

This can be fixed to use packaging (python-packaging in Arch) as PEP 632 says:

• distutils.version — use the packaging package

The current mesa-asahi-edge package in the main branch is totally outdated. I recommend to use the updated package from

• Bump Mesa #42

which ships with latest features including Opengl 4.6 support

Thank you for your comment, but the issue can reproduce in #42 (joske:mesa):

...
Program python3 found: YES (/usr/bin/python3)

mesa-asahi-20240527/meson.build:958:2: ERROR: Problem encountered: Python (3.x) mako module >= 0.8.0 required to build mesa.

meson.build has changed in L946 -- L959 at mesa-asahi-20240527 to use distutils or packaging like below:

prog_python = import('python').find_installation('python3')
has_mako = run_command(
  prog_python, '-c',
  '''
try:
  from packaging.version import Version
except:
  from distutils.version import StrictVersion as Version
import mako
assert Version(mako.__version__) >= Version("0.8.0")
  ''', check: false)
if has_mako.returncode() != 0
  error('Python (3.x) mako module >= 0.8.0 required to build mesa.')
endif

but packaging still be missed, that's why for reproducing, I think

I'll try to make PR to https://github.com/joske/PKGBUILDs/tree/mesa
