Bug 1759730

I had a look at this today.

I think the EL-6 python/rpm environment is so different from everywhere else that it warrants a completely separate spec rather than trying to add support into the existing spec, which is compatible with EL-7 and Fedora.

I've managed to build a test package but had to exclude the manpage as EL-6's version of sphinx (0.6.6) is way too old to build it (e.g. it doesn't support the "man" builder, doesn't include the "mathjax" extension that the package wants).

OK, here is a scratch build to try:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=38204612

For this build I used a pre-built manpage rather than trying to generate one during the build, which is not possible with EL-6's sphinx.

I also added "-mstackrealign" as a compiler option for the i686 build; without it, the test suite (and probably other applications) segfault. I added a comment about this in the upstream issue tracker at https://github.com/Legrandin/pycryptodome/issues/308

Paul, have you considered using python-sphinx10 on el6?

I've just requested an EL6 branch for this package. But I'm not interested in maitaining it. Once the branch created I'll add you as maintainer for this branch.

No, I haven't, as I didn't know it existed. I'll take a look later and see if it's helpful.

I managed to get it to build with python-sphinx10, though it also needs python-sphinxcontrib-napoleon (Bug #1761876).

There are still a few errors but I don't think they're critical:
/builddir/build/BUILD/pycryptodome-3.9.0/lib/Crypto/PublicKey/ECC.py:docstring of Crypto.PublicKey.ECC.EccKey:5: ERROR: Unknown interpreted text role "numref".
/builddir/build/BUILD/pycryptodome-3.9.0/lib/Crypto/PublicKey/ECC.py:docstring of Crypto.PublicKey.ECC.construct:5: ERROR: Unknown interpreted text role "numref".
/builddir/build/BUILD/pycryptodome-3.9.0/lib/Crypto/PublicKey/ECC.py:docstring of Crypto.PublicKey.ECC.generate:4: ERROR: Unknown interpreted text role "numref".

I think numref was introduced in sphinx 1.3. The errors are in references to a table of supported ECC curves. I think the interested reader would be able to figure out the references.

Can you add me (FAS: pghmcfc) too please?

OK, it's ready to build now.
