Domain: Package Ecosystem
🎯 Motivation
manylinux is a standard for Linux wheels that work across most distributions. Building manylinux wheels lets you publish one binary that installs cleanly on countless Linux systems.
📋 Concrete Example
Build your package in a manylinux2014 Docker container using auditwheel repair. The output wheel runs on CentOS 7, Ubuntu 18.04, and Fedora 32 alike — one binary, many distros.
🔗 Analogy
A universal phone charger with adapters for US, UK, and EU sockets. You pack one charger and plug in anywhere. manylinux is that universal adapter for Linux package binaries.
