# Upstream's PyPI release at this version is wheel-only; we build the
# Python binding from the source repo instead. The upstream tag does
# not carry the "v" prefix in directory names produced by the GitHub
# archive, only in the tag. # verified 2026-05-07 against 1.18.0.

# CMakeLists.txt FetchContent's DLPack (header-only) at configure time.
# Pinning the dlpack version into the source tree would mean carrying
# a sizeable patch series; the dependency is small and version-pinned
# in upstream's dlpack_version.txt, so accept the network-sandbox
# bypass instead — same pattern dev-python/vllm uses for its cpu?
# target. # verified 2026-05-07 against 1.18.0.
RESTRICT="network-sandbox"

# vllm caps at <1.19.0 due to a breaking change in 1.19.0; 1.18.0 is
# the highest version in range. Base wheel has no Python-level deps;
# the cutedsl extra adds nvidia-cutlass-dsl + cuda-python + torch
# which aren't needed by vllm's flashinfer-python path.
