Today we need to start the release of Python 3.11 beta 1. Currently, we have the following blockers:
* https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/91162 (was deferred blocker - but all deferred blockers are bumped to release blockers on beta1).
"PEP 646: Decide on substitution behavior" where PEP 646 is "PEP 646 – Variadic Generics", so something about typing. Who can take this decision?
The main branch got a fix. The backport to 3.8 was missing because the Docs CI failed: I repaired the PR #32250 which is now waiting for Lukasz (Python 3.8 release manager) to merge it.
* We have 3 buildbots failing: https://buildbot.python.org/all/#/release_status (some of the failures are due to flaky tests but others look real).
The FreeBSD buildbot has no working C compiler: I contacted Koobs who maintains it. It's unrelated to Python itself. TraceRefs: I wrote https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/92396 to fix it => merged A SSL test of test_asyncio failed on x86 Gentoo Non-Debug with X 3.x: this buildbot is very slow, and the timeout is hardcoded to 30 seconds. I proposed https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/92402 to use a timeout of 5 minutes (or longer, it's adapted to buildbot --timeout argument). Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death.
