** Description changed:
- A new version of pyopenssl has been synced to vivid-proposed which adds
- build-dependencies on python-cryptography, pulling a number of new
- packages into main.
+ [Background information]
+
+ pyopenssl 0.14 has rewritten custom python C extension binding to using
+ cffi interface to openssl.
+
+ At the same time the upstream packages have been split - thus pyopenssl
+ is purepython now, but depends on python-cryptography -> python-cffi ->
+ pycparser to build & run.
+
+ pyopenssl is in main already.
+
+ python-cryptography packaging has been tweaked to drop test only
+ dependency, and move them to autopackagetests alone. Such that we don't
+ need to MIR all of those. (E.g. pypy and friends). Thus the test suite
+ is executed as an autopackage test only, rather than at build time.
+
+ [Availability]
+ pycparser & python-cffi are in universe
+
+ [Rationale]
+ to keep pyopenssl, which is required for ubuntu-sso-client and OpenStack
clients in main.
+
+ [Security]
+ Dangerous crypto-facing code...
+
+ [Quality assurance]
+ Testsuite present and enforced via autopackagetests.
+
+ [Dependencies]
+ These are the dependencies:
+ pycparser, python-cffi, python-cryptography
+
+ [Standards compliance]
+ Gains TLS 1.1 & 1.2 support in pyopenssl
+
+ [Maintenance]
+ Server/Cloud Teams ?
