Hi Marco,
I am planning on adjusting the default for PYTHON_WHEEL_VERSIONS from
"3.8:3.9" to "3.9:3.12" in an upcoming cygport release.
(I probably should have done this soon after you packaged 3.12, but it
didn't occur to me then :( )
Please let me know if what you think of that idea.
I also learnt something while looking into making this change which I'll
try to document more clearly in the manual:
The python3-wheel cygclass is just a thin wrapper around the
python-wheel cygclass, which sets
PYTHON_WHEEL_VERSIONS=${PYTHON3_VERSION} (i.e. it only ever builds for
the current python version).
So, generally, all python modules should be using python-wheel.
I also noticed one other place where the "default version" of python is
significant:
https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-apps/cygport/tree/cygclass/python-wheel.cygclass#n209
I wonder if this should just be using "ENSUREPIP_OPTIONS=altinstall" for
all versions, and then those alternate names are controlled by
alternatives after package install? (I guess you're doing something to
arrange that at present?)
(which has the advantage that it doesn't bake those names into the
package, so they can be taken over by a later version easily)
