[Question]: Packaging librnp with bindings?

[BenPortner]

Dear py-rnp developers,

thanks for making RNP available to Python developers, by providing these bindings! If I understand the readme correctly, librnp must currently be installed manually to use these bindings. I'm wondering: Are there plans to also provide the library with the bindings in a single wheel (much like the folks over at pyca/cryptography are doing with OpenSSL)? This would greatly enhance the portability of apps produced with py-rnp :)

Thank you!
Ben

Hi Ben! Thanks for the suggestion, making rnp easily available for the python project(s) sounds like a good idea. While I'm mostly on rnp itself and don't have a clue at the moment, maybe @ronaldtse or @maxirmx could provide some input.

Yes, this will be nice to have rnp libs packaged to a wheel or to a Ruby extension

If we target "newer" version of operting systems where we can rely on botan and json-c from standard repositories this will be a task of reasonable complexity.

Not sure though when and if there is time for it. If someone creates a wheel itself I can probably find some time to help with rnp build integration.
