RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit).

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1952024
I am copying this bug because:
RHEL 9 / C9S is having the same issue.
Description of problem:
python-cryptography builds depend on python-cryptography-vectors package. The package provides test vectors for cryptography's test suite. The vectors package must be kept in sync with the cryptography package.
This hard dependency makes updates of cryptography slow, complicated, and tedious. I have to request a side-tag for every Fedora version, build the vectors package first, wait 10 to 30 minutes until its available in buildroot, then build the actual package. It's even more annoying for RHEL.
I would like to get rid of the external python-cryptography-vectors package and add the vectors to the python-cryptography source package.
- upstream has vectors in the same git as the main package
- the packages are only split on PyPI and Fedora
- python3-cryptography-vectors is only used as build dependency of python-cryptography source package
Miro and I discussed the issue. He suggested that I can simply use the source tarball from Github. I also propose to drop the -vectors package.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-cryptography-3.4.6-1
