Anthony Sottile <asott...@umich.edu> added the comment: Łukasz: what would you recommend for downstream packagers?
I have essentially two options (assuming this isn't reverted in cpython master which I believe makes the most sense since cpython still works fine with older libmpdec): - revert this individual commit as a patch - fork further from debian's packaging and use the vendored libmpdec (this potentially carries other negative side-effects since it makes the packages unlike upstream's -- and potentially susceptible to vendor/security drift since we don't carry patches for vendored components (but would get them from system libmpdec)) I'd rather not carry that patch indefinitely if possible -- especially when this cannot be built in a compatible way on software that's a mere 2 months old (ubuntu 20.04). For similar libraries (ssl, ffi, etc.) this would be a very major break in building. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40874> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
