bitarray-hardbyte: add build-bitarray-hardbyte.yml for riscv64 wheels - #1371
Merged
Conversation
bitarray-hardbyte is a one-off PyPI redistribution of ilanschnell/bitarray
under a different project name, last released as 2.3.8 in 2022 (the
hardbyte/bitarray fork that contributed the cibuildwheel workflow later
merged upstream is itself archived with a "Don't use this fork" commit).
There is no git tag matching 2.3.8 in ilanschnell/bitarray -- the version
was bumped in commit 0317aff5 ("next release 2.3.8") and never tagged,
going straight to 2.4.0 next. BITARRAY_HARDBYTE_REF pins the last commit
before that finalization (50b62ede), whose tree is byte-identical to the
released bitarray-hardbyte-2.3.8 sdist except for setup.py's distribution
name, which patches/bitarray-hardbyte/2.3.8 restores.
Builds a plain C extension with pypa/cibuildwheel, mirroring the existing
build-bitarray.yml sibling (same upstream source lineage, same interpreter
matrix). Verified locally: the patched source builds and its full test
suite (409 tests) passes against the local Python 3.9 interpreter.

cp313/cp314/cp314t failed identically: bitarray.test() calls test_bitarray.run(), which still uses unittest.makeSuite(), removed in Python 3.13. Not riscv64-specific -- reproduces on any arch running those interpreters. Upstream fixed this the same way in d345e9a3 once the file had moved past our pinned commit's line 4431; backport the one-line change instead of narrowing CIBW_TEST_COMMAND.

0001-setup-rename-distribution-to-bitarray-hardbyte.patch- Inappropriate [downstream redistribution naming, irrelevant to ilanschnell/bitarray]. Without it the wheel's distribution name isbitarrayinstead ofbitarray-hardbyte. Reproduces on any arch, not riscv64-only.Built and tested locally against Python 3.9: 409 passed.
