We can make a data driven decision here. Here is the top 100 *nix OSs that are downloading files from PyPI using a version of pip >= 6.0. Any version of pip older than that and we don’t have insight into what they are (we can get kernel version if they’re using pip >= 1.4) and any installer other than that we don’t get any insight into either. One problem of course is deciding how representative only people who are using pip >= 6.0 is, though since we can’t get manylinux support into already released versions of pip it may be pretty representative of people who will use this feature (unless this feature causes people to upgrade their pip when they wouldn’t otherwise). Anyways, here’s the data: https://gist.github.com/dstufft/e1b1fbebb3482362198f <https://gist.github.com/dstufft/e1b1fbebb3482362198f> It doesn’t matter to me if we use CentOS5 or CentOS6 as our base, but having some information to inform our choices is never a bad thing! ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
