New submission from Steve Dower: To save time and improve reliability while building CPython, we should pre-build and sign OpenSSL and Tcl/Tk binaries and make it a binary dependency.
Our slightly-patched sources will still be available, and it will be relatively easy for people to download and rebuild them, but for most cases (particularly CI/buildbots) we will be able to reuse prebuilt binaries. Since they need to be signed, this basically means it's my responsibility to update the GitHub repo whenever we update Tcl, Tk, Tix or OpenSSL versions. As is usual whenever I get a job, I promise to find a way to mostly automate it :) ---------- assignee: steve.dower components: Build, Windows messages: 298249 nosy: paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Pre-build OpenSSL and Tcl/Tk for Windows type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30916> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
