More information

Blosc2 3.0.0 wheels are missing currently
Considering it's a major update, i assume something in the build process changed which requires some changes to make it work again.

It's failing because the build process relies on installing dependencies from GitHub which we don't permit:

I suggest you contact the maintainers about this.

Sure thing - i did this in Blosc/python-blosc2#354.

@bennuttall I'm not sure i understand the issue if i'm honest.
what's better / worse when downloading from github.com vs. downloading from an alternative source, like "blosc.com" (for example)?
The underlying C library will be necessary either way ... and raspbian will not have this in many instances.

Maybe you've got a link to some documentation about the guidelines as to what's allowed / what isn't?
