Description

When following the instructions ​http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/attachment/ticket/1013/ on a minimal debian lenny (5.04) system, python ./setup.py build fails to build pycryptopp with many symbol resolution errors: 

src/crypto/crypto.c:806: error: `crypto_NetscapeSPKI_New' undeclared (first use in this function)
src/crypto/crypto.c:817: error: `X509_FILETYPE_PEM' undeclared (first use in this function)

Installing libssl with development headers solves that problem, so this is another undocumented dependency.

  • Summary changed from libssl install dependency not documented. to provide binary .egg's for pyOpenSSL for linux-{i386,amd64}-py2.{5,6}-ucs4

The part of this ticket that is about documenting the build of pyOpenSSL from source is now #1015. The remainder of this ticket is about the fact that there was not a binary egg of pyOpenSSL for your platform. What CPU architecture are you using?

  • Keywords binaries added
  • Milestone changed from undecided to 1.8.1

Since the newest version of pyOpenSSL listed on ​http://launchpad.net/pyopenssl at the moment is 0.11a2, then we need to build bdist_egg's of pyOpenSSL 0.11a2 for all platforms which we intend for people to be able to install Tahoe-LAFS v1.8.1 without having a C compiler and Python headers installed. (Note that the upstream maintainers of pyOpenSSL might be willing to provide binaries if we ask nicely: ​https://bugs.launchpad.net/pyopenssl/+bug/238658 .)

Sadly, if we do all the work to build and host such binary eggs, and then a new version of pyOpenSSL gets uploaded to !PyPI or launchpad or in source form only, then our build scripts will immediately start refusing to use the pyOpenSSL 0.11a2 binaries that we built. Fixing this so that our build scripts would continue to use the pyOpenSSL 0.11a2 binaries (or even good old pyOpenSSL 0.10 binaries) even if a newer version of pyOpenSSL is known to them is the subject of #1233.

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

We now host binary eggs of pyOpenSSL for many fine platforms. See ​http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/deps/tahoe-lafs-dep-eggs/README.html for details.
