Thanks @jrd for his comments, but I had to make more changes to successfully build the package when using --disable-gil configuration flag:

And I get some warnings after building:

Thank you! I’ve made the adaptation myself in the PKGBUILD, and left a message to see if it is possible for others.

I did not flag the package as obsolete, someone else did.

Anyway, thank you for the quick update.

@jrd I have limited time, so I can't guarantee updates within 48h of new releases. However, the PKGBUILD contains contributing instructions that speed up updates (whereas comments do not 😉).

update is now up and live.

Can it be upgraded to rc1 please?

I have created a package which builds with the experimental free-threaded mode (the Python name for the no-GIL option) enabled: python313-freethreaded. It can be installed alongside this package as enabling free-threaded mode adds a t suffix to binaries and libraries etc.

Here, is what I’ve done to build a GIL-free python version:

I added a star * into config Makefile reference because the name is config-3.13t-x86_64-linux-gnu when compiling with GIL disabled.

@rixx Can you also provide a disable-gil version too ? That could be helpful to test this new experimental feature…

This was added to the Pyhton 3.12 PKGBUILD aswell, I just was too busy to take care of this one aswell, and was low-key hoping that somebody would send in a patch so I wouldn't have to (certainly a patch doesn't take more time than commenting here, right?)

change is live now

same issue & resolution with ax_cv_c_float_words_bigendian as dpvpro. Is this something that should be reported upstream (because they now fail to detect it for some reason) or something that should be added to the PKGBUILD?

EDIT: it might be https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/89640

ax_cv_c_float_words_bigendian=no yay -S python313 - is working
