You can choose the package from the dropdown in the Actions tab of the repository and then type in the version

Creating a new wheel for a new package using the default Dockerfile

Create a new Github Action workflow in the repository of the package you want to create a wheel for. The wheel will be uploaded as an artifact into this index.

You can type in the name of the package in the custom_package_name field. This will override the value from the dropdown.

The default Dockerfile installs the common build tools. If you need additional build tools then create a custom Dockerfile per section below.

Creating a new wheel for a new package using a custom Dockerfile

Create a new Github Action workflow in the repository of the package you want to create a wheel for. The wheel will be uploaded as an artifact into this index.

Create a new folder in the packages directory with the name of the package. Add a Dockerfile to this folder with the build instructions for the package.

Add the new package to the dropdown list in .github/workflows/build.yml by adding the package name to the packages list.

Now you can follow the Creating a new wheel for an existing package section above.
