Yes, I think it would be good to allow users to override PLAT on macOS, as long as we have good docs to explain what's going on ...
can you assign this issue to me? I dont think i can do it
before making+releasing this change, it would probably be good to merge https://github.com/matthew-brett/multibuild/pull/251. Then the default when PLAT is unset would be reasonable for all platforms, allowing users to remove the typical PLAT=x86_64 from the top of their build matrices.
PS any plans to update master? it was last done in October 2018
Yes, good idea to update master.
Should we set the default for PLAT from the macOS installer version, for Mac?
Yes - my plan is to make the macOS PLAT default to that of the python installed by multibuild , so intel for 10.6 based pythons and x86_64 for 10.9 based
@matthew-brett any chance of merging PR https://github.com/matthew-brett/multibuild/pull/280?
the 1 failure seems to be a curl timeout trying to download swig - i dont have permissions to retry but assume its nothing to do with my change
