The VM was used for local macOS testing and
also for building a macOS intel fat binary.
We also do macOS CI testing on GitHub and I
recently added binary building on GitHub for
Apple Silicon and Intel.
The macOS 10 VM was very outdated, super slow
and a pain to use. I didn't succeed in building
a recent macOS vagrant VM, so we'll just use
GitHub from now on...
it looks like in brew they removed pkg-config formula and added
an alias to the pkgconf formula (which also provides a pkg-config
cli command).
the transition was not seamless:
on github actions CI:
Installing pkg-config
==> Downloading https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/pkgconf/manifests/2.3.0_1
==> Fetching pkgconf
==> Downloading https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/pkgconf/blobs/sha256:5f83615f295e78e593c767d84f3eddf61bfb0b849a1e6a5ea343506b30b2c620

brew unlink pkg-config@0.29.2
To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
brew link --overwrite pkgconf
To list all files that would be deleted:
brew link --overwrite pkgconf --dry-run

`setup.py` hardcoded crypto library paths for OpenBSD, causing build
issue when OpenBSD drops specific OpenSSL version. Solution is to make
paths configurable.
Addresses #8553.
This should address #8506. Unfortunately I'm unable to test.
#8506 is likely caused by the Vagrant box having a mirror in its
`etc/installurl`, which does not offer 7.4 packages. There are other
mirrors out there who do, e.g., https://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/.
Proposed 'fix' is to replace the mirror in `/etc/installurl`.
on macOS, installing older Pythons seems to uninstall OpenSSL 3 and only 1.1 is left.
also, building all these pythons and misc. openssl versions takes forever and we
only need 3.12 for the binary build. testing on misc. python versions is regularly
done one github actions CI.
