We automate wheel building using this custom github repository that builds Linux, macOS and Windows wheels using GitHub actions.
The GitHub actions for the builds is https://github.com/MacPython/statsmodels-wheels/actions
The driving Github repository is https://github.com/MacPython/statsmodels-wheels
The repository contains the branches:
main- for development and daily builds;rel-x.y.z- for building releases.
GitHub actions builds the main regularly (daily/weekly) via cron jobs.
Builds from the main branch uploaded Anaconda.org.
Builds from the release branches upload to an Anaconda.org staging repository.
Pull requests should usually be submitted to the main branch.
The wheel builder relies on cibuildwheel.
Keys for uploading are stored as secrets and not part of the repository.
You will likely want to edit build_wheels.yml to specify the BUILD_COMMIT
before triggering a build - see below.
You will need write permission to the Github repository to trigger new builds. Contact us on the mailing list if you need this.
You can trigger a build by:
- making a commit to the
statsmodels-wheelsrepository (e.g. withgit commit --allow-empty)
In general, it is better to trigger a build with a commit, because this makes a new set of build products and logs, keeping the old ones for reference. Keeping the old build logs helps us keep track of previous problems and successful builds.
The statsmodels-wheels repository will build the commit specified in
the BUILD_COMMIT at the top of build_wheels.yml. This can be any naming
of a commit, including branch name, tag name or commit hash.
- pre-releases container visible at https://anaconda.org/scientific-python-nightly-wheels/statsmodels
- release container visible at https://anaconda.org/multibuild-wheels-staging/statsmodels
When the wheels are updated, you can download them to your machine manually, and then upload them manually to PyPI, or by using twine.
You will need permissions to upload to PyPI to upload the wheels.
