Compile lxml instead of using pre-built binary wheels on all distros.
Review Request #13541 — Created Feb. 15, 2024 and submitted
There are some long-standing problems with
lxml
's binary packages on
some distributions. The version oflibxml2
used during the building of
the binary packages didn't always sync up well with what was on the
system, and this could lead to failures inlxml
and thenxmlsec
on
some systems. We've seen crashes and invalid checksums when this issue
occurs, in Review Board and third-party projects.We now attempt to compile
lxml
against the system library, instead of
using the pre-built wheel. This also requires we install some other
system packages, and that we ensure some compilation errors are turned
into warnings (necessary for Fedora 40+).
Ran install tests for all supported distros. They all passed.
