Whitelist libresolv?

[bluetech]

This library is part of glibc (similarly to libc, libm, librt, libpthread etc which are already whitelisted) and uses the same symbol versioning. I wonder if perhaps it is better not to bundle it?

Context: I ran into some trouble with the psycopg2 wheel, please see the details here: psycopg/psycopg2-wheels#2. If I replace the bundled version with the system version it works fine.

That does look like an oversight, yeah.

I guess the todo list for whitelisting it would be:

• Update the PEP – should be a pretty trivial PR to the python/peps repository
• Update the auditwheel policy – should be a pretty trivial PR to pypa/auditwheel

Are you interested in taking this on?

Are you interested in taking this on?

I am not very familiar with the subject matter (I hadn't even realized this was specified in a PEP), and have stopped using manylinux wheels personally, so hopefully someone else would formally propose this change.

Thanks!

I've sent MR around to update the policy and the PEP as per comment. Let me know if there's anything else to do.

In the meantime I've fixed auditwheels locally to whitelist libresolv and release a fixed version of the psycopg2 package: the OP tested the package and reported it working ok.
