Missing wheel for glibc 2.17+ ARM64

[kasium]

Information

• rustworkx version: 0.16.0
• Python version: 3.13.1
• Rust version: n/a
• Operating system: n/a

What is the current behavior?

With rustworkx 0.15.1 a wheel was built for glibc 2.17+ ARM64 (download link). However for 0.16.0, this wheel is no longer built, making a usage on ARM quite hard

What is the expected behavior?

The wheel is built and published

Steps to reproduce the problem

Try to install rustworkx 0.16.0 on ARM w/o a locally install rust

This is a known issue and we are aware. We have QEMU setup to release Arm64/PPC64/S390x wheels and particularly for this release it has been extremely unstable. All of them failed in the first try, I am actively retrying the failed builds to see if it happens https://github.com/Qiskit/rustworkx/actions/runs/12940926444.

I also have #1371 ready which will build Arm64 wheels natively. Should our retries fail we will backport the PR to the 0.16 branch and publish the wheels with that workflow.

In the meantime, my recommendations are:

1. Install rustup with https://rustup.rs/. You will compile the wheels locally and it will succeed. Rust is our only dependency
2. Pin 0.15.1 for the time being

Thanks a lot for taking care of this! I think I stay on 0.15.1 for the time being

It got built finally! https://pypi.org/project/rustworkx/0.16.0/#rustworkx-0.16.0-cp39-abi3-manylinux_2_17_aarch64.manylinux2014_aarch64.whl
