Should the rpath be set on OpenSSL, on the Python ssl module, or on the Python executable? > no (default): don't set an rpath If most users get it wrong, why not using "auto: auto-detect rpath from OPENSSL_LDFLAGS (--with-openssl or pkg-config)" by default? The Fedora packaging disallows the usage of rpath. All I need about rpath is that it can be dangerous in some cases, but I forgot about the details. For example, on Fedora, if OpenSSL is installed in the regular /usr/lib64/libssl.so directory, rpath must not be used. Otherwise, it can lead to crash, bugs or vulnerabilities. Fedora, Python and rpath: * https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/886 * https://bugs.python.org/issue36659#msg340731 Tell me if you need more details about the issues when rpath is misued. But I need to ask my colleagues, I forgot the details. ---------- nosy: +vstinner _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43466> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
