Provide macOS Monterey and Ventura wheels
nega0 opened this issue · 7 comments
As I'm sure you're aware the Github actions runner image macos-latest still points to Big Sur. macos-12 is the runner image for Monterey. Up-to-date wheels would be super helpful for piping in iminuit and prevent issues like #813.
Unfortunately, as was unofficially announced just yesterday (actions/runner-images#6426 (comment)), the Ventura image won't be available until Q2. I can provide a Ventura self-hosted runner in the meantime.
You do not need to build on the latest macOS. On macOS, you set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to the oldest macOS you support, and the stdlib will only include binary components that support that version - or any newer version. So it's generally safe to upgrade to a newer macOS, but you do not need to. The only benefit is you might get access to newer header only changes (but this is C++11 IIRC, so unlikely to benefit). That's not the problem in that issue at all.
Wheels list some version they target, then they work on all newer versions, following the way macOS works. Run pip debug --verbose and you'll see everything your current version supports - you'll see all older macOS versions listed there.
Looks like 3.11 was missed here:
iminuit/.github/workflows/release.yml
Lines 40 to 48 in e636501
Ok, so all I have to do is to generate the missing wheel for Python3.11 then.
Release 2.18.0 contains a Python3.11 wheel for macos universal2
If there are still issues, ping me and reopen.
Confirmed availability w/ python 3.11 on Ventura. Thanks!
