Description Carl George 2019-10-08 23:17:46 UTC 
Description of problem:
I'd like to use this package on RHEL6.  Please branch and build it for el6.

Additional info:
If you add me (FAS carlwgeorge) or the Python SIG as a maintainer I'd be happy to take care of this myself.
Comment 1 Paul Howarth 2019-10-09 20:02:16 UTC 
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).
Comment 2 Paul Howarth 2019-10-10 17:25:39 UTC 
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
Comment 3 Carl George 2019-10-14 17:30:16 UTC 
Paul, have you considered using python-sphinx10 on el6?
Comment 4 Mohamed El Morabity 2019-10-15 08:25:32 UTC 
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?
