Drop support for manylinux1 images January 1st, 2022 · Issue #994 · pypa/manylinux (original) (raw)

CentOS 5 support - which is used as the base image for manylinux1 - has been EOL for almost 4 years.
There's now very little need for manylinux1 compatible wheels (less than 0.1% of glibc systems downloads on PyPI in October 2020, c.f. #542 (comment))

manylinux1 will not receive any new features from now on (e.g. no CPython 3.10).
Support will end January 1st, 2022.

What this means on January 1st, 2022:

• the manylinux1 branch will be removed (a tag will be created to keep history)
• existing images will be kept in quay.io

Amend on January 22nd, 2022:

• as long as automated updates are working, the branch will be kept around
• once automated updates start failing, what was first planned on January 1st, 2022 will happen.
