No such file or directory VERSION

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/_MEIAc9aCL/ethstaker_deposit/VERSION'

I'm bundling using pyinstall on Ubuntu.

rm -rf .venv dist __pycache__ */__pycache__
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r build_configs/linux/requirements.txt -r requirements.txt
mkdir -p dist/bin && pyinstaller \
	--clean \
	--distpath ./dist/bin \
	build_configs/linux/build.spec

The binary compiles, but on the main branch it errors on runtime.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
Release:        24.04
Codename:       noble

In the end I got it to bundle by setting __version__ = "dev" in the __init__.py, instead. I tried to update the spec to bundle VERSION, but it didn't work as expected, so I won't submit a PR.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

I'm not familiar with all this bundling and version packing. If you or anyone knows a better solution to this, I'm quite happy to review it.
