Python3-isal only builds from wheels, this should be fixed.

Open Gerry546 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Currently https://pypi.org/project/isal/ is needed by Home Assistant, starting from 2024.05. This currently is not building from sources as it should be, and only one arch is supported (aarch64).

The current workaround is to directly fetch the wheel and build it. However this is not a stable and future proof option and should be improved.

I did have a go at this, but it was non-trivial to get python3-isal to build from source.

I have not tested it myself. But it looks like there is now a fallback to zlib if isal is not avaliable https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/116720

Could it not be a temp solution to disable isal for now?

I think having a more portable solution with zlib is better, even if it has a slight performance cost.
