  • Ticket #22089 – Description

    initial v1  
    33In short, OpenSSL development interface have changed incompatibly with versions<1.1. A lot of applications have been affected. That includes "our" python (see [https://bugs.python.org/issue26470 this python ticket]) and "our" git (see #22058), which are now unable to use SSL transport when compiled against OpenSSL>=1.1. This notably impedes the use of pip.

    5 This library has now entered mainstream Linux distributions (e. g. Debian testing) (I dunno about Windows/cygwin and Mac OS X). These distributions can no longer compile Sagemath with a functional pip.
     5This library has now entered :
     6* mainstream Linux distributions (e. g. Debian testing, which means Ubuntu in 4 months...),
     7* but not (yet) cygwin
     8* (I dunno about Mac OS X, which has [https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/21944 other problems]).

     10However, one notes that cygwin has now Python 2.7.12, which **is** patched for openssl>=1.1.

     12These distributions can no longer compile Sagemath with a functional pip. Therefore, unless we are willing to restrict Sagemath use to "stable" (read "antique") distributions, we have to either patch our current Python or upgrade it.
