Is there a distro-specific wheel tagging PEP in development somewhere that I missed? If not, I will get the ball rolling on it.

I think this a great idea, and I think it actually pairs nicely with the manylinux proposal. It should be pretty easy to cover the vast bulk of users with a handful of platform specific wheels (1-3ish) and then a manylinux wheel to cover the rest. It would let a project use newer toolchains/libraries in the common case, but still fall back to the older ones on more unusual platforms. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
