Note that the top-level setup.py script has disappeared completely,
hence the two dropped patches. AFAICT this doesn't regress building any
of the native modules, presumably because the configure script fully
takes care of this now:
```
The necessary bits to build these optional modules were not found:
_dbm _gdbm _posixshmem
_tkinter nis ossaudiodev
To find the necessary bits, look in configure.ac and config.log.
Checked 111 modules (31 built-in, 73 shared, 1 n/a on serenityos-x86_64,
0 disabled, 6 missing, 0 failed on import)
```
Add two patches to allow Python's package manager to work on Serenity:
- The first one enables zlib module, which is needed for `ensurepip`
command;
- The second patch fixes pip downloads, so it's possible to install
packages from the PyPI repository.
The old patch to define `HAVE_SIGSET_T` is no longer needed, as we now
have implementations for `sigwaitinfo` and `sigtimedwait`.
Instead, for the same reason, we now have to remove a reference to
`si_errno`, which we haven't implemented yet but is just assumed to be
there.
It appears that the patch still applied partially, which led to me
believing our changes were fully upstreamed. Only the _uuid module
specific changes didn't apply and are no longer needed, so simply
restore the other ones that I removed.
This was released a couple of days ago, on 2021-12-06 and contains
various changes that we previously needed custom patches for, so we are
now able to remove those and compile more unchanged upstream sources.
Thanks to Rodrigo for making that effort! :^)
The xmlrpc.client module has some trial-and-error logic at module import
time to figure out how to properly format years using strftime. There
have already been problems in the past with this code in Python (see
https://bugs.python.org/issue13305, which is still open), and Serenity
only adds to that.
This problem has been reported at https://bugs.python.org/issue45386, so
hopefully in time we won't need this patch anymore.
This is used for `sys.platform`, so it's important to get it right and
ideally never change it again. When not cross-compiling this would
append the `uname -r` version number, so let's explicitly override the
generated value and set it to `serenityos`. Various other systems do
this as well.
This makes the following work:
>>> import webbrowser
>>> webbrowser.open("http://serenityos.org")
As well as this well-known easter egg:
>>> import antigravity
Pretty cool! :^)
We now follow a common capitalization throughout the project:
./Ports/openssh/ReadMe.md
./Ports/python3/patches/ReadMe.md
./Ports/ReadMe.md
./Meta/Lagom/ReadMe.md
./ReadMe.md
This filename is still obvious enough to be seen immediately.
