UV-pack?

[dipta007]

Summary

Can we have something like uv-pack similar to conda-pack?
It will really help in reproducibility and sharing environment in the ML community, where the libs are too fast evolving and need kernel dependency.

Example

• To pack the locak venv - uv-pack. It will pack into venv.tar.gz
• Copy the tar to another environment
• uv-unpack venv.tar.gz
• Voila!! the env is reproduced

After some more google & perplexity: I found this: venv-pack

Another approach would be to have uv build --wheel --pinned (#8729), then you could just share the wheel file (much smaller), as uv is super fast at installing python+dependencies anyway.

@timvink Wow didn't know about wheel. Can you give a short example on what to do one Machine A (host) and on Machine B (new env) to get the same env? Really thanks.
