Recent libdb handles environment version mismatch automatically and
does a better job of it than we ever could, don't mess with it.
Other than that, it hasn't been really doing it's alleged job in
many years because first yum and then dnf started doing a separate
verify step after the transaction which recreates the environment...
Changes needed for Platform Python Stack change (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Platform_Python_Stack):
- Add platform-python bytecompilation patch: platform-python-bytecompile.patch
- Add platform python deps generator patch: platform-python-abi.patch
- Add a platform-python subpackage and remove system python related declarations
- Build rpm without platform_python for bytecompilation (already set in spec file)
When platform-python package is built, switch to `%bcond_without platform_python`
to build platform-python-rpm subpackage.
There's a bug in rpm 4.13.x rpmkeys -K signature checking that chokes
on unknown tags it's supposed to ignore like older rpm versions do.
Unfortunately that means all active Fedora versions are affected,
so disabling the SHA256 header-only digest generation temporarily to
give time to deal with the other versions.
As agreed on #fedora-devel with Dennis Gilmore that rel-eng tooling
requires some small changes and even if we miss something, it can
be fixed later.
(08:43:55 PM) dgilmore: we have the immediate tools we know need updating and the changes should be simple
(08:44:13 PM) dgilmore: so I am okay if rpm changed its behaviour right now

This will give us more correct patches which is easier to rebase and they are taken
from real upstream.

and fails when presented with a longer version `4.13.0.1`.
In addition, the download location changed from `rpm.org` to `ftp.rpm.org`.
Resolves: #1447417
Apparently Python upstream doesn't care about library versioning
for "minor" things like new symbols being added, defeating automatic
dependency tracking both at rpm and linker level. For random program
X not working until Python is updated too is a minor inconvenience,
but system updater breaking is not fun. Band-aid the situation with
manually inserted dependencies on the full Python version used
for compilation.
