Re: Request to join the Debian Python Team

Hi Éric,

Yes, I understand your point. In theory, building the free-threaded 
variant only requires adding |--disable-gil| and |--with-suffix=t|.

I’m using the same source and build dependencies as the original Python 
3.14, and the build from the Debian source package works fine. However, 
when I pulled the upstream code, I encountered missing dependency errors 
related to |blurb| and |sphinx-build|. I’m not entirely sure why — 
perhaps the Debian 3.14 source package includes some adjustments that I 
haven’t noticed.

So, I plan to submit this package later to fix the issue (I’ve already 
tested it locally, and it builds successfully). Maybe someone else will 
find it useful, haha.

Thanks again for your feedback. I’ll avoid diverging from the Debian 
source package going forward.

regards
