Shared cache for Python wheels
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to bring Charmcraft's shared cache for Python wheels to snapcraft, reducing redundant wheel downloads and rebuilds. Filed by maintainer lengau 747 days ago; only a bot Jira-sync comment exists, no labels, assignee, or maintainer response. No evidence of implementation in snapcraft or craft-parts codebase.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has no labels, no assignee, and no maintainer response beyond the automated Jira-sync bot comment (CRAFT-3230). It was filed by maintainer lengau 747 days ago with no activity in 536 days. Code searches in both snapcraft and craft-parts show no shared wheel cache implementation, so the feature is still unaddressed. It requires a maintainer to assess whether it's still in scope and prioritize it.
