python 3.11 branch was force pushed ?

[asottile]

Bug report

I have nightly jobs which pull cpython and build packages for ubuntu such that users can try them out early on: https://github.com/deadsnakes/nightly

today the python3.11 runs are failing due to the pull from cpython being non-fast-forward

the 3.11 branch (though it was named main at the time) contained this commit which has been rebased (?): 0924b95

the new corresponding commit appears to be the roughly the same, though with slightly different attribution:

here is the fast-forward pull which originally brought in the commit which is now gone: https://github.com/deadsnakes/python3.11-nightly/runs/6333419745?check_suite_focus=true

here's an example failing run which can no longer fast-forward pull cpython/3.11: https://github.com/deadsnakes/python3.11-nightly/actions/runs/2289092862

A few questions

• was this intentional?
• is there some workflow that needs to be adjusted?
• should I force push as well?

Your environment

N/A

• was this intentional?

Yes. The problem is that I blocked the main branch so no commits were pushed during the beta 1 release and branch changes. But some core devs that were not aware of the restriction seem to have overridden my block using admin privileges and pushed a commit (#92309). This should not have happened as I was still engineering the 3.11 branch. I had to manually rebase the commit directly from the original one and force pushed to the 3.11 branch to fix some conflicts with the branch and the workflow.

• is there some workflow that needs to be adjusted?

Not really. This was just some one-off problem.

should I force push as well?

Yes, the current state of 3.11 is the canonical one

Please, feel free to reopen if we are missing something :)
