Dominic Evans commented on PROTON-885:
--------------------------------------
Whilst I really like the idea of being able to pip install the proton client
with no other dependencies installed on the machine – I think we'd need to be
careful about the provenance of the changes in this patch...
Whilst it does mention the source in the header "...libraries like PyZMQ (from
which this work took lots of inspiration)..." and in some of the comments in
the files. The added files are actually pretty much identical to those found in
pyzmq's tree:
https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/tree/master/buildutils/bundle.py
https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/tree/master/buildutils/msg.py (log.py)
https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/tree/master/buildutils/misc.py
As such, the patch probably needs to be a bit more explicit about where they
came from, and if they were merged in then wouldn't the overall qpid-proton
source package also need to include a copy of
https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/blob/master/COPYING.BSD somewhere?

> Allow setup.py for bundling proton
>
> As of now, it's not possible to install python-qpid-proton if
> libqpid-proton is not present in the system. To be more precises, it's
> possible to build python-qpid-proton using cmake, upload it and beg to
> the gods of OPs that the required (and correct) shared library will be
> present in the system.
>
> This patch adds to python-qpid-proton the ability to download, build and
> install qpid-proton if the required version is not present in the
> system. It does this by checking - using pkg-config - whether the
> required version is installed and if not, it goes to downloading the
> package from the official apache source and builds it using cmake.
>
> As nasty as it sounds, this process is not strange in the Python
> community. Very famous - and way more used - libraries like PyZMQ (from
> which this work took lots of inspiration) do this already in a fairly
> more complex way.
>
> This first step is quite simple, it checks, downloads and builds using
> the standard tools. It's enabled just for linux and it does not use
> fancy flags. Future enhancements could take care of improving the
> implementation and extending it to support other systems.
