Hello Adolf,

Thanks for looking into this again.

AWS CLI is a bit of a mess…

We are currently on the older Python version which seems to be deprecated for a long time. There is however a newer version that I have been trying to build, but I did not get very far. I cannot remember what I ran into, but I suppose I just gave up at some point because the older version was working just fine for me. I do have a branch with some of the changes I made which I would be happy to pass over if you want to give it a go.

But first back to this one: This version seems to be very unhappy if the version of botocore doesn’t exactly match. Sadly our current build system is not very good at tracking these things, but hopefully that will change in the very near future.

I added a small call of “aws help” to the LFS file, so that we will see if things are actually able to start up. That is pretty much all we can test, but looking back at the problems in the past that we have had with aws-cli, it simply won’t start if it isn’t happy. Once it starts and finds all its dependencies it is happy.

P.S. This is the branch with some early things if you want to play around with it: https://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/ms/ipfire-2.x.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/aws-cli
