Provide wheels for older packages (< 2.0)
Clockwork-Muse opened this issue · comments
Feature Description
I'm working with a small IoT device and Azure, using the azure-iot-device
package. I would like to do a cross-build/package download, via something like this:
pip download -d <destination dir> --platform manylinux2014_aarch64 <my project directory>
... unfortunately, this fails, because the azure package hasn't (yet) updated to 2.0.0, and the older packages don't have wheels.
Requested Solution
Please build and publish wheels for the older versions.
Alternatives
Given other features of the project cross-building inside of docker will likely be available to me, but may not be for others.
We don't have the resource to support multiple branch of this library, adding build system from 2.0 version to 1.6 isn't something doable with our resource, and updating a existing release isn't good idea.
This library only had Python code, so you can build a wheel for any arch (pip wheel -w destdir "paho-mqtt==1.6.1"
).
