Add notable manylinux-compatible distro versions to README #1635

Closed ncoghlan closed 3 months ago

ncoghlan commented 3 months ago

With the move to the perennial naming scheme for new manylinux versions, it became harder to get a sense for the compatibility implications of choosing manylinux_2_28 over manylinux2014 (for example).

The list of available images is the most straightforward place to maintain a representative list of notable distro versions that correspond to the compatibility levels defined by each new manylinux image definition.

PR prompted by actually needing to make this decision myself, and not finding a clear answer anywhere when it came to the minimum versions of various distros that would be compatible with manylinux_2_28 wheels.

I also discovered that even the manylinux2014 PEP didn't spell out the implications for distro support in the Debian/Ubuntu ecosystem, hence adding those as well. (It didn't seem worth trying to backfill the info for the no longer supported images, though)

Thanks, I also added a link to https://github.com/mayeut/pep600_compliance?tab=readme-ov-file#distro-compatibility
