As of 2 days ago the GitHub issue tracking rollout for manylinux2010 is marked as complete. Thank you, everyone who worked on this!
We can enhance the impact of the toolchain support for manylinux2010, and decrease the question-answering support load on packaging volunteers, by making sure the message gets out: updating documentation, writing blog posts, speaking at conferences and on podcasts, reaching out to communities of package-makers (especially in the scientific/numerical computing worlds), and so on. I’ll quote @zwol who said:
I hesitate to call
manylinux2010“rolled out” until we have some evidence that the people building wheels really are doing so in the manylinux2010 (or 2014) build environment. This is almost entirely a messaging issue: for instance, do the top five google, bing, duckduckgo, weibo, etc. search results still tell people to use the manylinux1 build environment? if so, we still have some work to do.
His request for explanation earlier in this thread may also still apply.
SciPy this year is still open for talk proposals until 15 February, in case that’s a good opportunity for anyone here.
