manylinux_2_39 image

[jeandet]

Hello,

Is there any limitation or reason why there is no manylinux_2_39 images?
It would be really handy for packages depending on PySide6 on 64 bits ARM since PySide6 is built with libc 2.39.

This is not planned.
RHEL 10 just came out so it could be technically possible to add this in the coming months but ci time / cache would become an issue (and the issue seen on manylinux_34 needs to be fixed first).
2.39 is fairly new and wouldn't work on the latest Raspberry Pi OS for example.
Any reason PySide6 uses glibc 2.39 on aarch64 while they're using 2.28 on x86_64 ? Has that been asked on their tracker ?

Hello 👋
to add a bit of content, the CI configuration at the Qt company relies on ubuntu 24.04 as the base OS for aarch64 linux target. There were some attempts with Debian 11 as well.
In case this use-case (version) is critical, I'd say the best thing to do is to write a good suggestion in https://bugreports.qt.io/projects/QTQAINFRA/

Thank you @cmaureir for the explanation.
