Description
There seemed to be consensus on this mailing list thread to drop support for Manylinux 2010.
https://lists.apache.org/thread/dfsvcsmrmktgnqz9fyc9ym33zldwklyx
This ticket is to track it. The following was the main rationale to do it copied from the mail:
CentoOS 6, on which the manylinux2010 image is based, has been EOL for over
two years 1.
There is now also an official announcement by pypa that
manylinux2010 support will be dropped sometime in 2022 2 that has not
received any feedback on either Github or Discourse. Since the announcement
the percentage of affected users has dropped from ~7% to ~4% of Python 3.7
users 3. ~52% of pyarrow users are on 3.7 so only ~2% of pyarrow users
4 would potentially be affected by an issue fixed by updating pip 5.
We have already had several CI issues with the manylinux2010 builds that
required workarounds. There are now also issues with verification as there
are no aarch64 wheels for manylinux2010 6.
