######################################## Building and uploading kiwisolver wheels ########################################

We automate wheel building using this custom github repository that builds on the travis-ci machines and Github actions.

The travis-ci interface for the builds is https://travis-ci.org/MacPython/kiwisolver-wheels

The driving github repository is https://github.com/MacPython/kiwisolver-wheels

Using the repository

The repository contains the branches:

Travis-CI and Github actions builds the master regularly (daily/weekly), via Travis-CI cron jobs <https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/cron-jobs/>_ and Github actions schedule.

Builds from the master branch are not uploaded but can be accessed as artifact

Builds from the release branches upload to Anaconda Cloud.

Pull requests should usually be submitted to the master branch.

How it works

The wheel-building repository:

The resulting wheels are therefore self-contained and do not need any external dynamic libraries apart from those provided as standard by OSX / Linux as defined by the manylinux1 standard.

The .travis.yml file in this repository has a line containing the API key for the Rackspace container encrypted with an RSA key that is unique to the repository - see https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/encryption-keys. This encrypted key gives the travis build permission to upload to the Rackspace containers we use to house the uploads.

Triggering a build

You will likely want to edit the .travis.yml and appveyor.yml files to specify the BUILD_COMMIT before triggering a build - see below.

For releases, use an existing release branch, or push a new release branch to the repository.

You will need write permission to the github repository to trigger new builds on the travis-ci interface. Contact us on the mailing list if you need this.

You can trigger a build by:

In general, it is better to trigger a build with a commit, because this makes a new set of build products and logs, keeping the old ones for reference. Keeping the old build logs helps us keep track of previous problems and successful builds.

Which kiwisolver commit does the repository build?

The kiwisolver-wheels repository will build the commit specified in the BUILD_COMMIT at the top of the .travis.yml file and appveyor.yml files. This can be any naming of a commit, including branch name, tag name or commit hash.

Note: when making a kiwisolver release, it's best to only push the commit (not the tag) of the release to the kiwisolver repo, then change BUILD_COMMIT to the commit hash, and only after all wheel builds completed successfully push the release tag to the repo. This avoids having to move or delete the tag in case of an unexpected build/test issue.

Uploading the built wheels to pypi

Be careful, these links point to containers on a distributed content delivery network. It can take up to 15 minutes for the new wheel file to get updated into the containers at the links above.

When the wheels are updated, you can download them to your machine manually, and then upload them manually to pypi, or by using twine_. You can also use a script for doing this, housed at : https://github.com/MacPython/terryfy/blob/master/wheel-uploader

For the wheel-uploader script, you'll need twine and `beautiful soup 4

`_. You will typically have a directory on your machine where you store wheels, called a `wheelhouse`. The typical call for `wheel-uploader` would then be something like:: VERSION=1.0.1 CDN_URL=https://3f23b170c54c2533c070-1c8a9b3114517dc5fe17b7c3f8c63a43.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com wheel-uploader -u $CDN_URL -s -v -w ~/wheelhouse -t all kiwisolver $VERSION where: * ``-u`` gives the URL from which to fetch the wheels, here the https address, for some extra security; * ``-s`` causes twine to sign the wheels with your GPG key; * ``-v`` means give verbose messages; * ``-w ~/wheelhouse`` means download the wheels from to the local directory ``~/wheelhouse``. ``kiwisolver`` is the root name of the wheel(s) to download / upload, and ``1.0.1`` is the version to download / upload. In order to upload the wheels, you will need something like this in your ``~/.pypirc`` file:: [distutils] index-servers = pypi [pypi] username:your_user_name password:your_password So, in this case, `wheel-uploader` will download all wheels starting with `kiwisolver-1.0.1-` from the URL in ``$CDN_URL`` above to ``~/wheelhouse``, then upload them to PyPI. Of course, you will need permissions to upload to PyPI, for this to work. .. _manylinux1: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0513 .. _twine: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/twine .. _bs4: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/beautifulsoup4 .. _delocate: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/delocate .. _auditwheel: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/auditwheel
