Mention that old pythemis_install is deprecated, don't remove that part yet.

Add new section for more modern installation way

  • Describe how to build/install a .whl package (virtualenv)
  • Describe how to build/install a .deb package (Debian-like distros)
  • Describe how to build/install an .rpm package (CentOS, RHEL, probably other Fedora-like)

Wheel building checked on debian:bookworm and registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi:8.1 (kinda like CentOS/RHEL 8).
.deb building checked on debian:bookworm. .rpm building checked on centos:7.

Mention that old pythemis_install is deprecated, don't remove that part
yet. Describe how to build a .whl package and install it into venv.
Draft for system package building and installing.

2. Create a "wheel" package

Made improvement in Makefile that ignores venv if it was activated, so building the wheel works now in such scenario. As long as there is python3-setuptools installed in system. Alternatively we could remove that hack and just say in docs "hey, you need no venv when packing PyThemis"

2. Install Python dependencies

Depending on how you want to install PyThemis, there are different requirements.

Let's list the available approaches. One into the virtualenv and one system-wide installed as system package. Because further we describe steps how install dependencies, but not obvious for what. And why the user needs .whl. Usually developers installs packages with commands like pip install or python setup.py and they don't care what the files are generated. They interested in the package installed into their local or system environment. So we should clarify that we support 2 approaches. Local installation into venv and you need next dependencies, or installation into the system using system package manager and you need next dependencies.


3. Create a PyThemis package

* Create a "wheel" for virtualenv

I prefer to explicitly note for which way this case. For example To install locally: Create a "wheel".... Or mentions at start that we will describe 2 ways, first for local installation and second one for system. And then mention it like Way 1. ...., Way 2. ....

Because when I read step 3, I didn't understand why we need .whl for system package below and went to the makefile in the themis...

    Fix clippy and fmt issues

    Update MSRV to 1.60

    Freeze test deps so they compile on Rust 1.60, with no effect on
    themis itself (does not use those frozen crates)

    Update emscripten requirements and WASM CI job (cossacklabs#1036)

    * Bump emsdk version to 3.1.47
      Produces module importable in Node v18
      With older (emsdk 3.0.0) version, generated `libthemis.js` that should
      load `libthemis.wasm` fails due to some internal autogenerated code
      working differently on v16 and v18

    * Add link flag for WASM builds
      Needed to make new emscripten produce working module

    * Update Node testing versions
      Add v18 that should now work, also add v20 that is in active development
      as of now, but if tests are green then why not?

    * Switched integration tests to use v16

    * Removed testing of quite old and deprecated v10

    * Updated version of BoringSSL submodule to a newer one (not the latest though)

    CI fixes (cossacklabs#1034)

    Rix Rust CI builds (cossacklabs#1032)

    * Pin log dependency to 0.4.17
    * Pin byteorder dependency to 1.4.3

    Last versions that still work with current MSRV 1.58.

    Fix sanitizers CI job (cossacklabs#1033)

    * Switch to GCC 10
    * Install `libgcc-10-dev` that provides file `libtsan_preinit.o` needed
      for thread sanitizer

    Change priority of PREFIX in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS (cossacklabs#1031)

    * Change include dir priority in CFLAGS
    Move 'CFLAGS += -I/usr/local/include' below engine selection macros,
    so that if OS have OpenSSL header files installed in /usr/local/include,
    it won't mess with vendored BoringSSL or any other selected engine.

    * Put /usr/local/lib in separate LDFLAGS
    Introduce ADDITIONAL_LDFLAGS macro and put it after both LDFLAGS
    and CRYPTO_ENGINE_LDFLAGS during linking.

    * Add optional verbose logging to Makefile
    Add VERBOSE option to Makefile. If set, print executed command
    (compiler, linker etc) even for successful runs, and run ldd on created
    shared libraries.

    * Enable verbose builds on macOS jobs

Lagovas pushed a commit to cossacklabs/themis that referenced this pull request Dec 5, 2023
* Pre-release Themis 0.15.0 (#1011)

* Fix rust issues (pin log, run bindgen) (#1005)

* rust: Pin log version to =0.4.18

The 0.4.19 requires rustc 1.60, but currently we support 1.58.
Pinning it is not a big deal since it's development dependecy for
tests and examples.

* rust: Regenerate and update lib.rs

bindgen was updated again and changed something which resulted in
new output (seems like some internal constants are removed).

* Pythemis: introduce `pyproject.toml` (#1006)

* pythemis: Add pyproject.toml

Since setup.py is deprecated, let's try moving to the pyproject.toml
and configuring it with the same data as in setup.py.

Use setuptools as a backend for no particular reasons ¯\_(ツ)_/¯,
just because the name is familiar and we have no reasons to not use
it or use something else.

Keep the old setup.py for backward compatibility so old systems can
try to build the package.

For now, keep 0.14.0, we will bump the version in another PR.

* makefile: Use pyproject.toml for installing pythemis

According to this [1] article, the correct command is

    pip install .

in the project's root. Let's try that. Also, the other option is

    python -m build --wheel

which builds the package but doesn't install it. We can provide
something like `pythemis_build` for it for example.

[1]: https://godatadriven.com/blog/a-practical-guide-to-setuptools-and-pyproject-toml/

* pythemis: Update classifiers to Python3.6+

With many hours and docker containers I tested that themis actually
works up to python 3.4. The other versions require some changes in
makefile so they are more like "grey area".

However, python3.5 is deprecated and it produces warning like
"DEPRECATION: Python 3.5 reached the end of its life on..." so many
libraries don't support it. Instead they start with 3.6 which will
do as well, I guess.

Though, actually python3.6 is also deprecated [1]. The same will be
true for python3.7 in a couple of days (Jun 27 2023), so the question
is, should we declare support of these versions?

* pythemis: Extend range of supported py versions

* Update changelog

* Run and pin bindgen (#1008)

* rust-themis: Update bindgen

It updated and broke something again 🤦

* rust-themis: Pin bindgen version

It is pretty unstable with its frequent releases, so let's pin it.

* Update changelog

* Bump wrapper versions to 0.15.0 (#1007)

* changelog: Add 0.15.0 summary

* Bump embedded BoringSSL (#1004)

* Bump BoringSSL and fix makefile

This is not the latest BoringSSL version yet, because there are
a couple of fixes. So, treat it as the first. Here we also fix
our makefile because the BoringSSL team fixed bug with the strange
behaviour of absolute path to symbols.txt [1].

[1]: https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl/+/8c75ed046f799f1d8b805036b1dea9c5ec0a0fb5%5E%21/#F0

* Bump BoringSSL and fix opaque EVP

As OpenSSL, BoringSSL made many types opaque, so it will require
updating some of the code to not use fields.

* Bump BoringSSL again and fix RSA

The same issue - RSA type became opaque, so we need to use accessors
similar to what Openssl had.

* Bump BoringSSL once more

This is (hoperfully) the last bump. This time without issues but
we will see what CI says.

* Make bignum_to_bytes accept const bignum*

It will prevent some of the warnings. This function doesn't mutate
bignum anyway.

* Update changelog

* boringssl: Bump once again

* msys2: Update hashes temporarily

This are test values because we will move the tag. But for now,
let's just test it.

* phpthemis: Update version for the sake of testing

They will fail probably, but just out of curiosity let's try to run
the tests.

* Update date of the release

Solstice!

* msys2: Update checksums (#1012)

It's the egg-chicken problem: we can update those hashes only
after the release. But then, the release tag will not point to
the updated hashes.

This reverts commit dee8388.

Okay, this time I checked, the previous commit of boiringssl was
newer than one in the master.

* msys2: Fix hashes for 0.15.0 release (#1040)

Since we already have 0.15.0 assets on GitHub, we can specify those
and expect successful builds on stable.
