The point of the "wheel host" is to serve as a repository of Python packages (wheels) built by Jenkins for consumption by `pip` et al. For applications and libraries that do not provide all of their dependencies as binary packages, this makes a convenient way to install them without requiring all of the build tools and dependencies on the destination machine. The idea here is that a Jenkins job runs `pip wheel` for a distribution package name or `requirements.txt` file and then uploads the resulting wheel files using `rsync`. Apache is configured to serve the upload directory with an index compatible with `pip`'s `--find-links`.
