PyQt6 6.7.1 wheel: wrong manylinux glibc version?

[Holger.Joukl at LBBW.de]

Hi,

> PyQt-builder sets the manylinux version to 2.28 when it should really inspect the extension module for GLIBC symbols.

Yes that explains it, according to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jammy/+source/glibc Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) has
glibc 2.35.

So the tag name of the published v6.7.1 wheel would be wrong and should read "manylinux_2_35",
as you explained.

FWIW, e.g. the manylinux project at least (https://github.com/pypa/manylinux) does not yet
support this newer glibc version. Probably since it's preferable to build on "as old as possible" for a
wide range of compatible OS versions.

E.g. CentOS/RHEL 8 (which is supported until at least until 2029) is glibc 2.28-based - and one wouldn't be able to
use such wheels on the platform.

> I'm in the process of moving from virtual machines to docker containers for the Linux builds so I should be able to confirm and correct this fairly easily.

Great!

Thanks,
Holger
