March 2026 monthly summary for vllm-gaudi. Delivered a packaging reliability fix that ensures all sub-packages of vllm_gaudi are included in built wheels, addressing a critical setuptools packaging regression observed in modern PyPI builds. The update prevents 95+ modules from being omitted across 16 sub-packages, reducing customer install failures and downstream build risks. Verified by building the wheel with setuptools 78.x and validating the presence of all sub-packages; demonstrated by a small fnmatch-based check and end-to-end wheel verification. This work aligns with PEP 517 packaging paths and improves compatibility with modern tooling and CI pipelines.
