Revisit current wheel sdk archive to be distributed as a wheel named `vtk-sdk`
Following the 2nd scikit-build community meeting1, we discussed naming convention for wheel distributing SDK and associated <package>-config.cmake
file.
As a first step toward reducing the complexity for retrieving the VTK wheel sdk that is being duplicated 23, the plan is to revisit the wheel SDK archive 4 and distribute them as valid wheels.
To ensure that project depending on the vtk-sdk
wheel can effectively be built by finding VTK, an entry point specific to sckit-build-core
back-end will be declared. This will ensure that the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
(or VTK_DIR
) variable is set.
Distribution of the SDK wheels will either be done through PyPI or through PyPI server maintainer by Kitware.
