Implementing the necessary changes [1] to support manylinux2010 across
the various tools and components isn't hard (so nobody is going to do
it for the intellectual challenge), it's just tedious (so nobody is
likely to do it for fun, either).

Unfortunately, even large companies like Google are mostly sitting
back and passively consuming Python packaging projects maintained by
folks in their spare time (see
https://www.curiousefficiency.org/posts/2016/09/python-packaging-ecosystem.html#sustainability-and-the-bystander-effect).

Google could likely address the bulk of Python's near term Linux
packaging maintainability problems simply by advertising for a
full-time "Python project packaging at Google" maintainer role, and
setting whoever they hire loose on the problems of getting
manylinux2010 rolled out, defining manylinux2014 (the RHEL/CentOS
7/Ubuntu 14.04 baseline), and defining official support for
distro-specific wheels (such that they can publish their Ubuntu-only
tensorflow packages properly, without messing up the package
installation experience for users of other distros).

Google as a company know how that works, since they do things properly
for other aspects of Python development (such as gradual typing).
That's why their deliberate violation of the manylinux1 spec with
their tensorflow packages is so egregious - for whatever reason, it
hasn't occurred to them that the only reason their tensorflow
workflows are currently working without massive build times is because
we're not actively enforcing spec compliance at the PyPI level. If
PyPI were to ever start running auditwheel on upload, and subsequently
hide manylinux wheels that failed the check (such that installers were
able to properly meet the binary compatibility assurances nominally
offered by the specifications).

Cheers,
Nick.

There's a meta-issue here for the topic:
https://github.com/pypa/manylinux/issues/179

Various bits of code need to be told that manylinux2010 exists, and where 
necessary, have some understanding of what it means.

Yes. Well “recent” isn’t the right way to describe it. Basically when pip is 
looking through the list of wheels for a given version that are all compatible 
with the current platform, it tried to select the most “specific” wheel for 
that platform (with the idea that the more specific the wheel is, the more 
likely it is to work and be performant etc).

For the hypothetical of manylinux1, manylinux2010, manylinux2016, and 
manylinux2020, for a system that supported all of those, I don’t see any reason 
why we wouldn’t consider manylinux2020 to be more specific than manylinux2016, 
which is again more specific than 2010, and 1.

One nice side effect of this case, is if we ever enable something like an 
“ubuntu X.Y” wheel, that it doesn’t mean that a project would have to target 
every possibly platform. They could do something like publish a manylinux wheel 
to cover a wide range of linux, but if a significant number of their users is 
on ubuntu 18.04, they could *also* publish an ubuntu_18_4 wheel that would take 
precedence.

This even works correctly for pure Python fallbacks, for instance, if you have 
a C module that speeds up a pure Python module, you could publish a pure python 
wheel, and then compiled wheels for whatever platforms you targeted, and pip 
would prefer the wheel with compiled code over the pure python one.--

Pip determines a list of supported tag combinations and takes the
first one that matches. So it's not "automatic", in the sense of
needing nothing to be done, rather someone would have to contribute
code to pip that determined whether (for example) the platform
supported manylinux2016, and if so add it to the list of supported
tags ahead of manylinux2010. That code would need updating as newer
standards like manylinux2022 were finalised.

I would say there's value in having two official manylinux flavors at once, for 
example manylinux2010 for maximum compatibility (it's already 8 years old as 
far as requirements go!) and manylinux2016 for recent systems compatibility. 
Later, manylinux2022 gets released as the "recent systems compatibility" 
standard and manylinux2016 becomes the "maximum compatibility" flavor.

I'm not going to argue conda vs wheels. As you've noted there's strong
community interest in having wheels, but it's up to you whether you
prefer to satisfy that interest or not.

I will say that if there are problems with the existing standards that
cause you issues in distributing your packages as wheels, then working
with the community to address those issues with the standards is what
I'd recommend. It's hard to see how anyone other than you could be
better placed to explain the issues you face and propose solutions. On
the other hand, no-one's forcing you to participate in the standards
process, it's fine (as I said) if you prefer not to distribute
manylinux1 wheels.

What's not fine (IMO) is to effectively sabotage the standards process
by distributing wheels that claim to conform to it but which actually
don't. That makes life harder for everyone trying to make the
standards work. I really appreciate the fact that you raised the
question rather than simply doing so - once such wheels are published,
it'd be hard to track what's going on, much less address the issue.

> By the way other packages are already doing worse:
> https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/8802

I know tensorflow have issues that the current standards don't really
address. I believe they are discussing solutions in various places
like the packaging issues and the wheel tracker. I wasn't aware that
in the meantime they were distributing non-conformant wheels. That's
not good, as you yourself state in
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/8802#issuecomment-401703703.

FWIW, my understanding is that the libc restriction is to ensure
compatibility with one of the older but supported RHEL versions (6?).
I can appreciate that this might not be an important use case for some
projects.

Some final thoughts:

1. It sounds like manylinux2010 may be what you want. If you (the
general "you" here - any project for which manylinux1 isn't
sufficient) can't help move that effort forward, then you'll probably
have to wait until those who can get it finalised.
2. Maybe there's value in a tag that emphasises "current hardware"
more than backward compatibility? I don't know how such a thing could
be usefully defined - it may not even be possible in any real sense -
but that's a whole other standard proposal.

Paul

PS I'm assuming we're talking about publishing *on PyPI* - what people
do on a private index is their own concern.

It's naughty, you shouldn't do it, and the energy you put into making
pseudo-manylinux1 wheels could probably be better put into making finishing
up the manylinux2010 work – there's not that much to do.

That said, if you do do it, then probably it'll work fine and no one will
notice.

I'm doubtful that there are many packages that "need" this. People don't do
this on Windows or macOS, and those platforms seem to do ok.

Still we should have some way to describe such packages, so tensorflow can
at least have be accurate metadata, and for a variety of other use cases
(Alpine, arm, conda, etc.).

This isn't really an issue. Whatever libraries you need should be vendored
into the wheel with a tool like 'delocate', and then it doesn't matter what
third-party package manager your end users do or don't use.

There's no real difference between Windows/macOS/Linux in terms of binary
compatibility. On Windows people are more used to shipping everything with
their package, that's all. If you do the same thing on macOS and Linux, it
works great.

The biggest demand seems to be for developer convenience of quick downloads
/ installs and by people whom have not delved very deep into the gnarly
black arts of cross compilation and forwards / backwards compatibility
maintenance.

Deployment bandwidth costs and install times are a second tier use, but
still a real concern to any parties whom should consider sponsoring any
effort going towards solving anything within the scope, as solving their
gripes would save them money.

By the way other packages are already doing worse:
> https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/8802
>

Domain specific packages with real industry needs will need to deviate from
any standard put forth as the world of the bleeding edge moves faster than
the standards can.

What a lot of packages would actually need, is to have per operating system
per distro per distro version wheels, but that'd get quite insane quick and
put a lot of effort onto the package maintainers or the maintainers of the
manylinux-esque build containers.

And even something like that will still spectacularly fall apart on macOS
by stuff like building against 3rd party libraries from macports vs. fink
vs. homebrew installed into /usr/local/ vs. homebrew installed into
$HOME/.homebrew varying between the unsuspecting package maintainer / wheel
builder and the end users of the wheel.

Oddly enough this seems to be by far the least problematic on Windows.

I agree with that. OTOH it seems providing binary wheels is generally a strong

I'm not really familiar with manylinux1, but I'd be concerned if we
started getting bug reports on pip because we installed a library that
claimed to be manylinux1 and was failing because it wasn't. (And yes,
packaging errors like this are a common source of pip bug reports).

It seems to me that it's defeating the purpose of having standards if

I think this will require updating the PEP, at the very least:

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0513/#the-manylinux1-policy

I think we should focus our efforts on releasing manylinux2010 ASAP:

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0571/

We need the community's help to review the PR here:

 https://github.com/pypa/manylinux/pull/182
