lasso¶
This is a generic library part used within a SAML identity federation. There is superficial DEP-8 tests.
The test suite is historically disabled, re-enable it in
debian/rules using:
CONFIGURE_ARGS := \
...
--enable-tests=yes \
To run it:
apt install check
debuild
make check
The upstream issues may contain test cases that are easy to run through the Python bindings, e.g. #24830 and #24853.
Reverse dependencies
See for instance libapache2-mod-auth-mellon for setting-up a reverse dependency.
Another reverse dependency is Authentic2 from the same devs. Sadly it’s hard to find a version that is both recent enough for today’s pypi and old enough for ELTS’ Py3. And, that doesn’t have some transient issue, as the project appears to use rolling-releases.
