cpython-source-deps

Source for packages that the CPython build process depends on.

It is currently expected that this will only be useful on Windows,

and in any case you should never need to clone this repository

unless you are updating its contents.

Updating Source Dependencies

The procedure for updating the different source dependencies are similar. Below

is an example for updating SQLite::

1. Fork and clone this repository.

2. Checkout a new branch off the ``sqlite`` branch. Assuming this repo is set

as your ``upstream``::

3. Download SQLite source from `sqlite.org <https://www.sqlite.org>`_.

4. Unzip it to the branch checked out in step 2.

5. Commit and push the changes.

6. Create the PR, with ``sqlite`` as the base branch.

Once the PR has been merged, tag the commit as ``sqlite-<full version to be used in CPython's PCbuild/get_externals.bat>``.

For updating ``sqlite``, ``bzip2``, ``xz``, and ``zlib``, follow the above

instructions.

For ``tcl`` and ``tk``, after step 5, `cpython-bin-deps

<https://github.com/python/cpython-bin-deps/>`_

needs to be updated.

For ``openssl``, step 5 will be more complicated :)
