Hi Charlie

what happens in a situation in which I might have access to a login node, from which I can install packages, but then the computing nodes don't have internet access. Can I define in some hardware.toml the target system and install there even if my local system is different?

To be more specific, I'd like to do `uv --dump-system hardware.toml` in the computing node and then in the login node (or my laptop for that matter) just do `uv install my-package --target-system hardware.toml` and get an environment I can just copy over.

Yes, we let you override our detection of your hardware. Though we haven't implemented dumping detected information on one platform for use on another, it's definitely feasible, e.g., we're exploring a static metadata format as a part of the wheel variant proposal https://github.com/wheelnext/pep_xxx_wheel_variants/issues/4...
