arm64 wheels #109

Closed vielmetti closed 5 years ago

vielmetti commented 5 years ago

I have a report from @notafile at https://github.com/WorksOnArm/cluster/issues/116#issuecomment-463818754 that there are no wheels for arm64.

The problem of wheels is that there is no PEP specification for linux ARM wheels. The manylinux1 and manylinux2010 platform tags only apply to x86(_64), due to being based on Centos7, which does not support anything else. So before any wheels could be uploaded, a manylinux standard for ARM would be required.

The result of this is that packages that have a lot of dependencies build slowly on arm64.

And I realize that this problem may not be resolvable in this repository, but i don't know exactly where to go upstream to address it!

Closing in favor of the upstream issues.
