Hi!

The xxh project built system based on docker containers was crashed with error:

Please add ignoring of this pip warning.

Thanks!

Hey @anki-code,

the warning message might have changed. I updated python-appimage in order to accept more generic pip warnings. Does it solve your issue?

[anki-code]

Yes! It works now! Many thanks @niess!

This was a simple fix https://github.com/niess/python-appimage/commit/ea71603f8e5c5460f24b12db022c2b4f977ac58b :) I should fix this myself :)
