Description
Creating this ticket mostly for informational purposes.
Adding the python312 variant to ntpsec appears to work fine, except that it fails configure in trace mode. This is due to the unavailability of distutils in Python 3.12, though for some reason it's available when not in trace mode, even though it's officially gone in 3.12. Complicating this further is that the use of distutils is actually in waf, rather than in ntpsec itself.
It seems safest not to add the python312 variant until this is better understood.

There is no distutils module in the python stdlib as of 3.12. Setuptools does provide distutils still, so anything that uses it needs to depend on the appropriate py*-setuptools port.

Ah, that explains the trace-mode failure, and I was able to reproduce it without trace mode by deactivating py312-setuptools. It doesn't explain why the trace mode reports showed no indication of either setuptools or distutils, which is probably yet another trace-mode bug.
Retesting with the added dependency now.
The unreleased upstream code seems to have fixed the problem, so the dependency can go away on the next version update.

Upon further investigation, it appears that
distutils.sysconfigis working as expected inpython312, in spite of the fact that it had been MIA in the-develversion ofpython312a while back. So the only mystery is what trace mode is doing to break it.Since the issue appears to be confined to trace mode, adding the variant seems reasonable.
