having versions-manifest.json MANIFEST_REPO_BRANCH configurable

[cielavenir]

Description:

https://github.com/actions/setup-python/blob/main/src/install-python.ts#L13 forces to main, I'd like to use some older hash due to actions/python-versions#175

Justification:
I'm already using macOS arm64 cross compiler.

Are you willing to submit a PR?
Perhaps need some replies to actions/python-versions#114 (comment)

Hi, @cielavenir 👋 ! We will investigate your feature request and get back to you with updates.

Hi, @cielavenir 👋 ! Thank you for this issue, the thing is that the version-manifest.json from the main branch consists of the tested on our hosted runners python versions which are compatible to our hosted runners. Unfortunately we aren't going to make this version-manifest.json externally configurable.

By now I'm going to close this issue, If you have any additions or questions, feel free to ping us!

@IvanZosimov On github runner macos-12, python 3.10 fails to build wheel due to broken Xcode.app path.

@cielavenir, 👋 ! Could you please provide us with broader info about your current case? I'd suggest creating a new bug issue with a link to the public repo with a failing workflow.

[cielavenir]

@IvanZosimov would you mind checking actions/python-versions#114 thoroughly?

[IvanZosimov]

@cielavenir, the problem you mentioned occurred because we started to build python into a universal2 binary format. As you can see in the PR you mentioned above, this change brought a lot of issues to the customers and it was decided to temporarily disable it. Did you have any problems before we moved to universal2 bin format?

[cielavenir]

@IvanZosimov No problem before, but I already started to build arm64 wheels, so the github action will start to fail

[IvanZosimov]

@cielavenir, We are very sorry for that, but we have to temporarily disable universal2 in order not to break a lot of workflows (that are already existed) which don't have an option to use python compiled in universal2 format. We apologize for the temporary inconvenience.
