Issue 6.9.1 wheels missing => install broken for users

[PIERRE AUGIER]

Hi,

I saw in https://pypi.org/project/mercurial/6.9.1/#files that there are only very few wheels (only Linux) uploaded for this version.

One can compare with https://pypi.org/project/mercurial/6.9/#files, for which there are a lot of wheels.

It's a problem for a project uploading wheels not to do it for a new version (or to do it only partly) since it breaks installs for users for which the wheel is missing.

For example currently a Windows/macOS user doing `pipx install mercurial` (same with `pip` or `uv tool`) is going to trigger a compilation of 6.9.1 (and in most case, it's going to fail because of lack of build dependencies).

For a project uploading wheels, the good practice for a release is to upload all the wheels and then only after upload the sdist, so that people that just want to install the package never need to use the sdist.

Raphaël, have the wheel been produced for 6.9.1 ?
