Store SHA256 hashes when running update scripts and verify them
when downloading files at build time. This improves security by
detecting unexpected changes to downloaded artifacts.
Platforms covered: macOS (CPython, PyPy, GraalPy), iOS, Android,
virtualenv, and python-build-standalone. Windows (nuget) and
Linux (Docker) are excluded.
SHA256 sources per platform:
- macOS/iOS/Android CPython (python.org): sha256_sum from API
- GraalPy: .sha256 sidecar assets from GitHub releases
- python-build-standalone: SHA256SUMS file in release
- PyPy, BeeWare iOS, Maven (Chaquopy): stream-download and compute
Changes:
- cibuildwheel/util/file.py: add sha256 param to download()
- cibuildwheel/platforms/{macos,ios,android}.py: add sha256 to
PythonConfiguration and pass to download()
- cibuildwheel/venv.py: read sha256 from toml and pass to download()
- cibuildwheel/util/python_build_standalone.py: add sha256 to
PythonBuildStandaloneAsset and pass to download()
- cibuildwheel/resources/build-platforms.toml: add sha256 fields
- cibuildwheel/resources/virtualenv.toml: add sha256 field
- cibuildwheel/resources/python-build-standalone-releases.json: add sha256
- bin/update_pythons.py: compute/store sha256 per source strategy
- bin/update_virtualenv.py: compute sha256 by streaming download
- bin/update_python_build_standalone.py: parse SHA256SUMS file
Closes#908
