Is it possible to provide support for glibc 2.17+

[m0g1cian]

Our production environment still runs on older kernel version and currently it is impossible to install xgrammar from PyPI as the manylinux minimum required glibc version is 2.27+.

We've tried to install from source and it seems that there is no issue of compiling xgrammar on old kernel. I am wondering if it is possible to have official releases on PyPI to support glibc 2.17+?

Hi @hj611 @Lyshc-cgc @m0g1cian, thanks for asking about this. The C++ source code is dependent on C++17, which (as far as I know) makes it hard to compile with glibc 2.17. We will release a source distribution for pypi later, which enables users to compile the source code themselves. I will try later if I can use the old version of glibc to build.
