It's designed for Python projects that need patchelf as a build dependency and want to avoid requiring end-users to install it via their OS package manager. The wrapper provides setup commands to check, build, and install patchelf into a project's environment.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and installs patchelf by downloading and compiling its source during the installation process. It's intended only for developers packaging Python tools that depend on patchelf, not for end-users of patchelf itself. The repository is archived and has not been updated since 2022-01-19, making it a legacy tool for older projects.","worth_installing":"No. The project is abandoned (last release 2020-07-04, repository archived), installs only patchelf 0.11 which is likely outdated, and requires a C compiler and build tools for every installation. For new projects, use your OS package manager or a modern build tool. For existing projects already using this package, consider migrating to a maintained alternative or installing patchelf directly via your system's package manager."},"id":"patchelf-wrapper","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/patchelf-wrapper","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/patchelf-wrapper.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/patchelf-wrapper/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-07-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"patchelf-wrapper","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A wrapper for patchelf"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1178932,"position":4261,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.0"}
