Is there some way to influence the egg info for the build when using pip wheel? Some thing like:
pip wheel git+https://github.com/org/somerepo.git@ourpatchset#egg=somerepo&egg_info="-b +local<build number>"
Or is there a better method for dealing with this scenario?
The way auditwheel approaches this is as a "post-process the already built wheel" problem, rather than as a "modify the wheel build process" problem: 1. Build the original wheel archive however you'd normally do so 2. Unpack the original wheel archive 3. Make any desired changes to wheel contents and/or metadata 4. Repack the modified wheel (potentially with an updated RECORD file and modified filename) auditwheel's own utilities for doing that kind of thing are here: https://github.com/pypa/auditwheel/blob/master/auditwheel/wheeltools.py Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
