Pure-Python package whose platform wheel vendors the GDAL SWIG bindings plus a from-source GDAL 3.13.1 stack (PROJ, GEOS, HDF5, netCDF, curl, OpenSSL, ...). Upstream publishes no riscv64 wheel.

Mirrors upstream's bundle-pypi-wheels.yml (build-linux-wheels + test-wheels).

Differs from upstream

  • Upstream's before-all stack build runs once into an image, not once per interpreter
  • repair-wheel-command drops --plat manylinux_2_28, below the riscv64 image's floor
  • test-skip cleared: upstream's test-wheels commands run in cibuildwheel's test step
  • 3 tests deselected (see below)

Matrix: cp312, cp313, cp314 - cftime/pyproj/shapely have no cp311 riscv64 wheel; upstream skips cp314t.

Testing

  • Same as upstream, minus 3 deselected tests:
    • test_open_zipped_nc_via_vsi_auto/test_open_zipped_nc_via_vsi_zip: GDAL's netCDF
      driver needs Linux userfaultfd(2) to open a /vsizip///vsi*-auto path. This
      self-hosted riscv64 runner's kernel denies that syscall - confirmed across 2 CI rounds
      that widened the test container first with --security-opt=seccomp=unconfined, then
      with --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE on top, neither of which changed the failure. userfaultfd
      is gated by the host kernel's vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd sysctl, which is checked
      before a container's own seccomp profile or capabilities, so there's no per-container
      workaround available to an unprivileged cibuildwheel container.
    • test_read_array_returns_spatial_array[none__5v__1d2-2d2-3d1__curv]: an independent,
      reproducible riscv64-specific hang in GDAL's curvilinear-grid raster-read path for this
      one data shape (5 variables, dims 1d2-2d2-3d1), while neighboring parametrizations
      (including other curvilinear ones) pass clean. Not yet root-caused at the C level;
      deselected rather than left to hang for ~800s and burn CI minutes on every run.
    • Recorded as gotchas 662/663 in the porting skill for future netCDF/VSI/curvilinear-grid
      ports that hit the same shape of failure.

License: Wheel bundles GDAL and its dependency stack with upstream's own collected licence texts, plus the image's GCC libgomp, whose sources are published (GPL-3.0 with runtime exception).

Patches

  • 0001-source-build-add-the-riscv64-OpenSSL-target.patch - To upstream. config.sh aborts on any arch but x86_64/aarch64. riscv64-only.

Not built locally; counts pending the first CI run.

Build the riscv64 wheels with upstream's own Linux recipe: its
ci/source-build/build-gdal-stack.sh compiles GDAL and its ~26-library
dependency stack from SHA256-pinned tarballs, and before-build vendors
the GDAL Python bindings into the wheel. The stack is built once into a
manylinux_2_39_riscv64-derived image instead of once per interpreter.

config.sh only maps x86_64/aarch64 to an OpenSSL target, so a patch adds
linux64-riscv64. auditwheel's plat is left to default because upstream's
manylinux_2_28 is below the riscv64 image's floor. Tests are upstream's
test-wheels commands (verify-wheel.py plus the hermetic core suite).

cp311 is dropped because cftime/pyproj/shapely have no cp311 riscv64
wheel; cp314t is skipped as upstream does.

Same mechanic as the other recent campaign PRs: check_commit_messages (job 116040153205) failed on check_no_ai_attribution against the pull_request "opened" webhook's frozen body snapshot, captured before create_pull_request's auto-injected "Generated by Claude Code" footer was stripped via update_pull_request. The live PR body has been clean since right after creation.

pr-checks.yml already triggers on edited for exactly this case; that run should pass once it clears the backlog. No fix to push — watching for it.

Unrelated new failure: Build the GDAL build image (0.59.0) (job 116040269672) ran for ~5 hours (09:53-14:54) compiling the GDAL/OpenSSL/PROJ stack, then was marked failure with its Build Docker image with GDAL step still reading in_progress and no error anywhere in the log — the dead-runner pattern, not a build defect (the log just stops mid-OpenSSL-compile). All other jobs in the run had already completed, so re-ran it once via rerun-failed-jobs.

Follow-up on the above: the re-run (job 116493641545, run_attempt 2) reproduced the identical dead-runner pattern — ~6h12m runtime (11:27-17:39), Build Docker image with GDAL still reading in_progress, log stopping mid-OpenSSL-compile with no error. Same signature as the first failure, so this is a recurring infra issue on this runner rather than a one-off flake; not re-running a third time. Likely cause: this image build compiles ~26 libraries from source (OpenSSL, GDAL, PROJ, GEOS, HDF5, netCDF, curl, ...) and the riscv64 runner isn't surviving the multi-hour build (connection/heartbeat loss), independent of anything in this PR's patch or workflow. Leaving this for runner-side investigation; will re-check if the job is retried.

The netCDF driver needs Linux userfaultfd to open any .nc path routed
through GDAL's VSI layer (zip, tar, vsicurl, ...), and Docker's default
seccomp profile blocks that syscall outright. cibuildwheel runs this
port's test suite inside its own container rather than on the bare
runner (unlike upstream, whose equivalent job runs outside Docker), so
the two vsizip netCDF tests failed with GDAL's own
"requires Linux userfaultfd" error instead of the RuntimeError's
expected success path. build-gdal-stack.sh's own vsizip probe already
documents this exact failure mode as a seccomp artifact.

Lift the profile for the test container the same way build-caio.yml
already does for io_uring.
…unconfined

Lifting seccomp alone left the two /vsizip netCDF tests failing identically:
the kernel's own userfaultfd(2) path checks CAP_SYS_PTRACE independently of
any seccomp filter when vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd is disabled (gotcha 552's
pidfd_getfd gate is the same shape). Add --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE to the test
container's create_args.
Two rounds of widening the test container (seccomp=unconfined, then
+CAP_SYS_PTRACE) left test_open_zipped_nc_via_vsi_auto/_zip failing
identically across 3 CI runs. Those two tests need userfaultfd(2) for
GDAL's netCDF driver to open a /vsizip//vsi* path; that syscall is gated
by the host kernel's vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd sysctl, which no
container seccomp profile or capability set reaches (gotcha 552's fix
was for a different syscall). Revert CIBW_CONTAINER_ENGINE back to unset
and deselect the two tests instead.

test_read_array_returns_spatial_array[none__5v__1d2-2d2-3d1__curv]
reproducibly hangs for ~800-850s in GDAL's curvilinear-grid read path for
this one data shape while neighboring parametrizations, including other
curvilinear ones, pass clean - an independent, riscv64-specific bug, not
a side effect of the two tests above. Deselect it too rather than burn a
full timeout window on every run; not yet root-caused at the C level.
…elections

Gotcha 662: a netCDF /vsizip//vsi*-auto open needs userfaultfd(2), which
a fully unconfined seccomp profile and CAP_SYS_PTRACE do not restore -
that syscall is gated by the host kernel's vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd
sysctl, not by anything a container flag reaches.

Gotcha 663: a hang reproducible at one exact parametrize id, with
sibling parametrizations passing clean on either side, is a per-input
library bug rather than corrupted global state from an earlier failure;
--timeout-method=thread can't interrupt a blocking GIL-held C call, so
only the job's own wall clock ends the hang.
