Changes

  • Bump Flatpak runtime versions
    • org.freedesktop.Platform: 22.08 -> 23.08
    • org.kde.Platform: 6.4 -> 6.6
    • org.gnome.Platform: 44 -> 45

Notes

org.gnome.Platform==45, org.kde.Platform==6.6, and org.freedesktop.Platform==23.08 do not have libcrypt.so.1 and Flatpak builds are failing because Standalone Python is still looking for it.... I was under the impression that Standalone Python was dropping its dependency on this ancient library....but maybe I misunderstood something....

libcrypt.so was dropped for Python 3.10, 3.9, and 3.8 with astral-sh/python-build-standalone@80cd87f and released in 20240107.

Dependencies

I've narrowed this down to being a problem for Python 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10; when using Python 3.11 and 3.12, the dependency on libcrypt.so.1 is absent. This is true for both releases 20231002 and 20230826.

	libcrypt.so.1 => not found

The development in Standalone Python that claimed to remove this dependency didn't make any carve outs for older Python; so, I'm not sure if this in intentional or what yet.

Feedback in astral-sh/python-build-standalone#173 (comment) confirms that Python 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10 should not be linking libcrypt.so.1 like this. I created astral-sh/python-build-standalone#197 to document this. Elsewhere indygreg commented they won't be able to make another release until Christmas or later (not that I consider that a committed timeline or anything).

As a note, org.kde.Platform==6.4 (the current version used in the template) is EOL; 6.5 doesn't have this issue....but I also can't find the EOL schedule for the KDE runtimes...
