[Bug 1647204] Re: 1.8.0-2 FTBFS in zesty 17.04

[Andre Heinecke]

I don't think Barry included the patch against entropy starvation in his
PPA so It's expected that it would hang.

I've discussed possibly high resource usage of the gpgme test suite
(there were also other complaints) and we reduced it accordingly:
https://git.gnupg.org/cgi-
bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gpgme.git;a=commitdiff;h=7bd6ab4a91d43d7cbf5d347c0c12e0e4f9f7e3bf

This might fix the armhf error in t-thread-keylist-verify

Is there still something open here that would block GpgME-1.8 from
making it into ubuntu?

Otherwise we'll probably also release a new GpgME Version including
these changes soon.

Title:
  1.8.0-2 FTBFS in zesty 17.04

Status in gpgme1.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1.8.0-2 synced from debian in Zesty Zapus 17.04 fails to build on all
  architectures from source with the error:

  checking whether a simple qt program can be built... no
  configure: error:
  ***
  *** Qt5 (Qt5Core) is required for Qt binding.
  ***

  The packages builds without this issue in debian unstable.

  A little experimentation shows that is a ubuntu sbuild/pbuilder and
  ppa, setting -pie in the hardening options allows the build to proceed
  with the Qt bindings building properly.

  Not being overly familiar with the hardening, I am unsure if dropping
  that feature set is relatively harmless, or massively undesirable and
  potentially harmful.

  However, in a ppa build, but NOT in my local sbuild/pbuilder chroot,
  the resulting build then hangs on the (python?) tests on starting or
  stopping gpg-agent, and the build is eventually killed due to
  inactivity after 150 mins as follows

  Build killed with signal TERM after 150 minutes of inactivity

  I would note that this is the first gpgme version from gpg directly,
  with the Qt bindings built. These will be essential for future KDE
  applications and frameworks, as the gpgmepp previously built in KDE's
  own packages is being dropped.
