[Buildroot] [PATCH] python-m2crypto: different fix for the OpenSSL problem

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Thomas, All,

On 2015-12-09 09:55 +0100, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> m2crypto provides a --openssl option to specify the location of the
> OpenSSL library, when not installed in /usr. However, this option does
> not apply to the standard "build" command normally called by the
> python-package infrastructure, but only to the "build_ext" command.
> 
> This already required to override the default python-package build
> commands for this package. Moreover, this the last bump to version
> 0.22.5, things got even more complicated since calling just
> "build_ext" does not work, and additional quirks are needed.
> 
> This commit proposes to get away with this by relying on the default
> python-package behavior, and simply hardcoding the OpenSSL location by
> patching the setup.py script in a post-patch hook.
> 
> This issue has also been reported upstream at
> https://gitlab.com/m2crypto/m2crypto/issues/89.

As discussed on IRC, this is still an ugly hack. But it is less code
than the current situation, so it's better.

Thanks! :-)
