Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Hi,
thanks for working on pihohsm, its pretty cool!
the pico-hsm-tool.py has a dependency on pycvc, which doesnt exist in debian, ubuntu, or arch repos. building it from pypi is discouraged by most
major distros that centrally manage their python libs.
is it possible to add this to releases somehow? is there an equivalent to pycvc that can be used?
Pycvc is made by me. Why you cannot just
pip install pycvc?Pip install in most major distros comes with a warning and error...Ubuntu for example really seems to hate pip outside its apt controlled ecosystem.
I guess you could build in venv though?
Hmmm...I have a similar issue - tried with venv and without FWIW:
Tried to install swig and various other ideas from the web.
See https://github.com/LudovicRousseau/pyscard/issues/78
Is pypicohsm still exist?I can't find it on PyPI,nor github.I could only find it on google cached search results...
I'm also experiencing the same issue of trying to use this repo on Linux.
@polhenarejos FYI:
One reason could be that packages are the norm on well-managed systems.
This could be a critical aspect, especially in security-relevant areas.
For my implementations, I will try to support all common package formats. The process is a bit tedious, but ultimately, it's a one-time effort. You build the corresponding package information structures once and can essentially reuse them in other projects or generate them from existing data using tools like FPM.
But yes, it's a real pain that the major Linux distributions aren't making any attempts to alleviate the situation they've created or to provide appropriate tools so that every single developer doesn't have to manage information for multiple distributions.
I do think the author deleted this repo.
He also deleted the pico-conmissioner for some reason?
I would also delete all my projects if I constantly had to read messages from people who don't want to bother doing a little research beforehand and reading the previous error messages before writing their supposed error report, which has already been written a dozen times before by other people.
sorry,my fault.
