+From d649977e79984afca90c61315fcab89cb8f9ef6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Arthur Zamarin <arthurzam@gentoo.org>
+Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2026 22:14:30 +0300
+Subject: [PATCH] tests: replace deprecated Loader.load_module with exec_module
+
+load_module() was removed in Python 3.15, breaking test_scan_repo[eclass].
+Use the recommended spec_from_loader + module_from_spec + exec_module API.
+
+Resolves: https://github.com/pkgcore/pkgcheck/issues/787
