mac M1 chip for older versions

[The Doom Lab]

Hi guys,

I am trying to install spacy 2.2.3 because I use it to teach classes. I upgraded to a new M1 Max Mac, which is supported for newer versions of blis, but I am trying to install 0.4.0 due to spacy requirements. Any suggestions?

Perhaps you can prepare a patch from 0.4.0 to HEAD and then apply it during the build process?

[The Doom Lab]

Hi @devinamatthews - do you have an example of what you mean? I am afraid that's a bit out of my wheelhouse.

[Devin Matthews]

No, I don't. I don't really know how the pip build process worka internally so that is just a suggestion from left field. You might have better luck here since we don't maintain the Python-based distribution.

[The Doom Lab]

Ah, I see - thanks!
