[Wheel-builders] Building Kivy for manylinux1

[Dominik Lang]

Thanks, that already helped a lot. I did not know about that PEP.
So CentOS 6 it is for sure.

I'll have a look at all of these in time, I'd say, and maybe even expand on
that dockcross image.

One question regarding conda: How are the OS dependencies handled?

I've looked through the scripts and might've missed it.  AFAIU so far,
SDL2 determines the dependencies both at build- and at runtime.  Which
makes it relatively easy to get a build, but if they're not there
initally, they won't be available later.

Thanks again,

Dominik

I know that there has been some effort toward's Kivy's dependencies (SDL2 and such) on conda-forge, which is the largest community effort on conda packaging.  https://conda-forge.org/ and https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/search?q=sdl2&type=Issues&utf8=%E2%9C%93
