[Numpy-discussion] linux wheels coming soon

2016-03-15 Thread Nathaniel Smith
Hi all,

Just a heads-up that we're planning to upload Linux wheels for numpy
to PyPI soon. Unless there's some objection, these will be using
ATLAS, just like the current Windows wheels, for the same reasons --
moving to something faster like OpenBLAS would be good, but given the
concerns about OpenBLAS's reliability we want to get something working
first and then worry about making it fast. (Plus it doesn't make sense
to ship different BLAS libraries on Windows versus Linux -- that just
multiplies our support burden for no reason.)

Good news, thanks to all who have worked on this.

Question: what to do with the prerelease uploads on pypi after they are
outdated? I'm inclined to delete them, as there may be four of five of them
per release and that seems unnecessary clutter.

I'd just leave them? Pypi doesn't care, and who knows, they might be useful
for archival purposes to someone. Plus this is less work :-)

Less work than hitting the delete button? Oh, my aching finger ;)
