1065	provide binary eggs of PyCrypto for our supported platforms	zooko	somebody	"Now that we require !PyCrypto (see #953), we need to provide binary eggs of it so that people can install Tahoe-LAFS on platforms that don't have a working C compiler. Here is a buildbot that is currently demonstrating how this fails:

http://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot/builders/Soultcer%20Win7-64%20py2.6

For example, a failing build is:

http://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot/builders/Soultcer%20Win7-64%20py2.6/builds/47/steps/build/logs/stdio

which ends with

To close this ticket, make it so that that buildbot succeeds at installing Tahoe-LAFS even if its owner (soultcer) does not install any new tools such as a C compiler nor packages such as !PyCrypto.

The way to do ''that'' is to build or acquire a binary egg of !PyCrypto for that platform (Windows 7 64 bit) and host it here: http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/deps/tahoe-lafs-dep-eggs/ (or you can host it on the PyPI site for !PyCrypto, which will also be examined to find candidate eggs)."	defect	closed	major	soon (release n/a)	packaging	1.6.1	fixed	binaries windows setuptools pycrypto-lib
