It might well be, yes, that we have no such problem in the airflow package. I referred more to the provider packages. I think it would like to hear from the user why sdist was used in this case. Also, I believe there are some distros Gentoo, that always use sources for everything it can (and I am not sure if they would work with .whl only).
I am not against removing it, just want to be sure there are no unforeseen consequences. Unfortunately, there are no stats to show which type of packages are downloaded :( https://pypistats.org/packages/apache-airflow J, On Sat, Dec 12, 2020 at 10:38 AM Ash Berlin-Taylor <a...@apache.org> wrote: > On Sat, 12 Dec, 2020 at 10:34, Jarek Potiuk <jarek.pot...@polidea.com> > wrote: > > So I think there will be systems where sdist is used automatically because > the host system is not as close to what we use when build wheels. > > > I think that is only a problem for wheels with binary components,but our > wheels are not -- they are universal (i.e. just contain pure python). > -- Jarek Potiuk Polidea <https://www.polidea.com/> | Principal Software Engineer M: +48 660 796 129 <+48660796129> [image: Polidea] <https://www.polidea.com/>
