The 2.4 maintenance branch fails building Python 3.11 wheels

[charris]

@rgommers Any idea what is going on? The wheels.yml file has builds for Python 11, but cibuildwheel fails. The main branch doesn't have the Python 11 builds, and I suspect some weird caching problem. Or maybe something weird about the branch.

Error: cibuildwheel: No build identifiers selected: BuildSelector(build_config='cp311-manylinux_x86_64', skip_config='*_i686 *_ppc64le *_s390x *_universal2', requires_python=<SpecifierSet('>=3.12')>, enable=frozenset({<EnableGroup.CPythonFreeThreading: 'cpython-freethreading'>, <EnableGroup.PyPy: 'pypy'>, <EnableGroup.CPythonPrerelease: 'cpython-prerelease'>}))

I'm suspecting this

Cache folder: /home/runner/.cache/cibuildwheel

The last run was on main with python 3.11 removed. Probably need the clean-cache option.

Caching isn't the problem. I don't know where the python >= 3.12 requirement is coming from.

Here:

numpy-release/.github/workflows/wheels.yml

Line 7 in 7d10f25

SOURCE_REF_TO_BUILD: main

Set that to the rc1 release tag, and things will work as expected.

Oh, yeah. That's what I did for 2.3 then forgot about it. Actually it should be set to the branch.
