   I also use sdist with CMAKE_ARGS set to build ARM64 (and could for free-threaded).

   $Env:CMAKE_ARGS = '-DBUILD_opencv_dnn=OFF -DENABLE_NEON=OFF'

   Fixed in v5. Probably by #1203

   The reports here were accurate, and sdists have since resumed — this looks closeable.

   Confirming the gap was real: 4.13.0.90 and 4.13.0.92 each published 8 files, all wheels, no tar.gz, for both opencv-python and opencv-python-headless. So #1188 (--no-binary on headless 4.13.0.90) and #1204 (headless 4.13.0.92) were both correct.

   Current releases do have them (upload times from the PyPI JSON API, UTC):

   opencv-python           5.0.0.93.tar.gz    2026-07-02T06:59:53
   opencv-python           4.14.0.94.tar.gz   2026-07-28T19:23:09
   opencv-python-headless  5.0.0.93.tar.gz    2026-07-02T07:01:06
   opencv-python-headless  4.14.0.94.tar.gz   2026-07-28T19:23:48
   

   Both are 9-file releases now (8 wheels + sdist), so building from source and pip install --no-binary work again on current versions. Only the two 4.13.0.9x releases remain wheel-only.

   @asmorkalov if there's no plan to retro-publish sdists for 4.13.0.90/92, this and #1188 / #1204 can probably be closed against 4.14.0.94 and 5.0.0.93.
