Re: [Numpy-discussion] reducing effort spent on wheel builds?

I spent so much time updating the wheels builds to 64 bit BLAS mostly because - I needed to actually understand how multibuild worked (and docs are minimal). - I don't know powershell (and docs are hard to find). - I don't know azure works at a lower level (and docs are hard to

Re: [Numpy-discussion] reducing effort spent on wheel builds?

When thinking about supporting a platform, it seems reasonable to consider other sources for pre-compiled binaries, e.g., conda and especially conda-forge. Conda-forge has linux-ppc64le  v1.7.0linux-64  v1.7.0linux-aarch64  v1.7.0osx-arm64  v1.7.0osx-64  v1.7.0win-32  v1.2.1win-64  v1.7.0 If this

Re: [Numpy-discussion] reducing effort spent on wheel builds?

I'd be +1 on reducing the number of wheels to reduce maintainer effort (esp. the 32 bit builds). However, I think reducing the CI dedication (+maintainer effort towards that) to those minority platforms would inevitably increase the risk of numpy/scipy failing to work on them, and possibly risk

[Numpy-discussion] Newcomer's meeting - later today (4pm UTC)!

Hi all! Sorry for the late notice - our next Newcomer's Meeting is today, * July 15, at 4pm UTC.* This is an informal meeting with no agenda to ask questions, get to know other people and (hopefully) figure out ways to contribute to NumPy. Feel free to join if you are lurking around but found it

Re: [Numpy-discussion] reducing effort spent on wheel builds?

FWIW, here's a big fat +1 from me for spreading the load. I'd even advocate for trimming the CI and going for "We officially support this (small) list of platforms and gladly accept patches for anything else as long as they do not break the officially supported ones". ISTM the list of supported

[Numpy-discussion] reducing effort spent on wheel builds?

Hey all, This whole thread is quite interesting: https://twitter.com/zooba/status/1415440484181417998. Given how much effort we are spending on really niche wheel builds, I’m wondering if we should just draw a line somewhere: - we do what we do now for the main platforms: Windows, Linux (x86,
