Fromager uses PyGithub to retrieve a list of tag names and tarball URLs from GitHub. The feature can be implemented a with a few lines of code and requests. PyGithub depends on several packages with extension modules: cffi, cryptography, PyNaCl, and wrapt. All packages except for cffi don't have pre-built wheels for ppc64le and s390x on PyPI. Fewer platlib packages makes Fromager easier to run on these architectures.
The change removes support for GITHUB_TOKEN auth. We have never needed it in upstream or downstream of Fromager.
The remaining packages with mandatory extension are psutil and pydantic_core. psutil has a small C extension and no pre-built binaries for ppc64le and s390x. pydantic_core and its build dependency maturin are written in Rust. Upstream provides wheels for x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, and s390x.
The packages charset_normalizer and PyYAML have optional extension accelerator modules. The packages can be built as pure Python wheels, e.g. with env var PYYAML_FORCE_LIBYAML=0 for PyYAML.
With this change, only a C compiler and system headers are required to build psutil.
