    Should I look into the Vagrant testing and setting up a VM either with FUSE installed or SIP disabled?

    thanks for the offer!

    well, in the end I'll need it for platform testing on my workstation, options:

    • i do it myself
    • i get the VM image from you
    • we find a VM image on vagranthub that is good enough to be auto provisioned

    btw, the current provisioning of what i have (macOS 10.12 VM running under virtualbox) still takes rather long btw.

    otoh, i want to have latest stuff for everything that ends up being in the pyinstaller made fat-binary.
    otoh, i'ld like it to finish faster.

    Would be best if Vagrant does the required setup. Will see if there is a suitable image somewhere.

    Pyinstaller runs well in Github Actions. But since you also need BSD, it gets more complicated. ☹️

    I did some tries with upgrading this, but stopping it for now:

    • boot issues (guru meditation)
    • even with readily available vagrant VMs from vagrantup, there are scope issues integrating them into our Vagrantfile

    pip 2.4.2 is broken on macOS 10.12, #8415.

    so it would be good to have something where even pip 2.4.2 works.

    to get rid of the pip issue, we would need to upgrade to macOS >= 10.14 (Mojave).

    1.4-maint: solved differently, see #9066
    master: #9082

    I did some tries on installing more recent macOS under VirtualBox for vagrant, but didn't get it running. Also, that would have solved only macOS Intel and with the github machines we now have Intel and Apple Silicon.
