[pypy-dev] upcoming release

[Matti Picus]

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
