Christian Heimes added the comment: The guidelines for platform support are explained in PEP 11 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0011/#supporting-platforms). We don't support platforms unless we have maintainers and CI (builtbots) in place for the pla

2021-02-09 Thread Christian Heimes
Christian Heimes added the comment: I stand corrected. The last element in the platform triplet does seem to indicate libc. Is there any formal definition of the platform triplet or is it defined by GCC's reference implementation? A quick search didn't reveal any decisive res

[issue43179] Remove s390 support

2021-02-09 Thread Christian Heimes
New submission from Christian Heimes : configure.ac contains triplet definitions for s390 and s390x mainframes. While s390x (Linux on IBM Z) is still widely supported, s390 is not. s390 was released in 1990 and discontinued in 1998, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_System/390 Ariadne

Christian Heimes added the comment: 3.7 is in security fix-only mode. APPLICATION_DATA_AFTER_CLOSE_NOTIFY is a protocol violation in any TLS version. It's not related to TLS 1.3. The error occurs when one side wants to close the connection, but the other sides keeps sending user data.

[issue43112] SOABI on Linux does not distinguish between GNU libc and musl libc

2021-02-03 Thread Christian Heimes
Christian Heimes added the comment: SOABI basically contains the CPU architecture and Kernel ABI. The libc ABI is yet another dimension that is not encoded in the shared library ABI. The libc ABI is more complex than just glibc or musl. You need to include the ABI version of all core
