Tracking issue for PEP 600 Perennial manylinux rollout · Issue #542 · pypa/manylinux (original) (raw)
PEP 600 has been accepted to adopt the manylinux_2_?? standard, we need a tracking issue for implementation (I'm reusing structure and prose from gh-338, maintainers : please edit this so it makes sense).
I am pushing this forward so we can use a newer docker image for other architectures: the available arm64 compilers on CentOS 7 have a bug with copysign xref gh-494 and the glibc 2.18 versions of transcendental functions have bugs, the NumPy work-arounds are based on long double but ppc64 uses double double xref numpy/numpy#15763. Moving to an image based on glibc2.24 (debian stretch, centos8 uses 2.28) will help move the goalposts on these issues.
Client-side Support:
- Update packaging to generate the perennial tags (Support PEP 600 tags packaging#293)
- New release of packaging (Release 20.5 packaging#345)
- Update pip to use the new packaging (Implement PEP-600: Future 'manylinux' Platform Tags for Portable Linux Built Distributions pip#9077)
- New release of pip (pip 20.3 release (Q4 2020) pip#8936)
- Update wheel to use the new packaging
- New release of wheel
Publisher-side Support:
- Update Warehouse (PyPI) to accept perennial wheel uploads (Allow manylinux_x_y wheel upload (PEP600) pypi/warehouse#7853)
- Update auditwheel to emit perennial wheel archives (Add manylinux_2_24 policy auditwheel#264)
- New release of auditwheel (Release 3.3.0 auditwheel#270)
- Provide a manylinux_2_24 docker environment (Add manylinux_2_24 images #999)
- Including a rewrite of pypa/manylinux branches so that master produces all the currrent manylinux images (thanks @mayeut)
- Upload the new images to quay.io
- Confirm that twine will upload perennial wheel archives
Documentation:
- Update https://packaging.python.org/specifications/platform-compatibility-tags/ to cover manylinux_2_X (Mention manylinux_x_y in platform tags specification packaging.python.org#832)
Additional projects to consider once core capability support has rolled out:
- Update pipenv to install perennial wheels (Upgrade version of vendored package 'packaging' to support PEP 600 pipenv#4591)
- Needed due to pipenv vendoring pip, so the support depends on the version of pipenv being used, rather than the version of pip in the host or target environments)
- Add an option to target manylinux_2_X in cibuildwheel (Add manylinux_2_24 support cibuildwheel#595)
- Add an option to target manylinux_2_X in multibuild (matthew-brett/multibuild#396)
- Distinguish between images in dockcross
- Develop list of further relevant helper utilities and update them
