I would like to do a release of pypy soon. The biggest change from 7.2 is that we changed the SOABI to pypy27_pp73 (or pp36_pp73) to better hanlde packaging. Since a new release of pip will depend on our SOABI, I would like the release to happen soon. I am proposing this be "7.3.0" and not "8.0.0". Are there any outstanding issues we should fix before a new release? Packaging PyPy: I have been on changing our build/packaging on linux to produce a binary based on portable-pypy. My motivation is to enable projects like multibuild or cibuildwheels to download binary versions of PyPy from a single source. Is this a priority? The wininstaller branch provides an installer based on the CPython one. It works. Should we release it now? Is this a priority? Thanks for feedback Matti
Hi Matti, If you are working on packaging it certainly makes sense to get the Windows installer working. I believe a large chunk of the work is done. The only thing I can think of that is missing there is that there is no integration with the buildbot. That would have to be modified some how to call the packaging script after the binaries have been built. Andy On Fri, Nov 22, 2019 at 6:03 PM Matti Picus <matti.picus@gmail.com> wrote:

if it has not done already, I think it would be a good idea to update the bundled version of pip so that you can install manylinux2010 wheels with just `pypy -m ensurepip`.
+1 also on this. For my wheels repo, I have to use the unofficial portable build. If we aim for packages to release their own pypy wheels, we should make the process as straighforward as possible. ciao, Anto
