-Subject: [PATCH] libselinux/src/Makefile: build python module without
- isolation
-
-The "pip install" logic in libselinux/src/Makefile tries to get
-setuptools from the network, which is not correct as during the
-build/installation, there shouldn't be any network access, or
-downloading of arbitrary resources from the network.
-
-This causes build issues in Debian:
-
-  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1121121
-
-And in Buildroot:
-
-  https://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/0e9/0e9de0c0d8b6ec57eea9f8834f02076b296ba4f1/build-end.log
-
-To fix this, we use the --no-build-isolation pip install argument so
-that pip install is allowed to use the system-provided setuptools,
-instead of wanting to download this one.
-
-This patch is derived from
-https://sources.debian.org/src/libselinux/3.9-4/debian/patches/Build-python-module-without-isolation-Closes-1119155.patch,
-with the change that --no-build-isolation is passed unconditionally,
-regardless of whether $(DESTDIR) is empty or not.
