[-]Unpin cffi from version 1.16.0[/-][+]Unpin cffi from version < 1.17[/+]on Oct 15, 2024 Just a heads up that on my Debian testing system
cffi<1.17failed to compile from source withpython 3.13, whilecffi==1.17works fine (and is already packaged). The pin should ideally be gone before our next release if at all possible (meaning, ifcffidoes have a new release in the meantime).We should unpin cffi now, and raise an exception if a user tries to use it with a complex type (and advise them to rollback cffi).
The release of
cffiversionv1.17.0broke the red hat CI pipeline.An explicit downgrade as hot fix was introduced in #3339. This should be reverted, to using the latest version of
cffiin its runs, to fix this issue.Interestingly this seems to be a platform dependent problem as the other CI runs did not reproduce the behavior.
