Describe the feature you'd like
PennyLane-Lightning (
lightning.qubit
,lightning.kokkos
andlightning.gpu
) PyPI packages are built onmanylinux2014
(CentOS 7 withglibc
2.17) up to version 0.36.0. CentOS 7 will reach EOL on June 30th, 2024. As a result, we have updated the PennyLane-Lightning simulators' build system to use themanylinux_2_28
toolchain, which includesglibc
version 2.28. This change means that next releases of PennyLane-Lightning simulators will no longer support older distributions that cannot meet the glibc 2.28 requirements.How would this feature be used? Please describe.
