Support for legacy OS ? #156
Description
Python wheels for eccodes >= 2.43 are not available anymore for some Linux OS, like some HPCs (e.g. RedHat7.9).
I understand that the compiled part is now distributed as a separate package/wheel eccodeslib, but this one neither is available.
I also understood that you had to change the docker image to build wheels on github (from manylinux_2_17_x86_64 to manylinux_2_28_x86_64), which may explain why it is not available for "old" OS, but what do you suggest in this case ?
In addition, the version of eccodeslib differs from the version of eccodes packages, as reported in eccodes#414, which is problematic as I need to control the version to install to be consistent with other packages linking a separate install of eccodes.
