Research direction
Start with .github/workflows/build-release.yml at the input definition around lines 35-37, then trace where that value is used. Support both branch names and tag numbers while preserving the existing v-prefix behavior, and verify that the workflow can build against upstream main or 3.14 as well as existing tag inputs.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Currently, .github/workflows/build-release.yml takes a tag number:
Which can be used as the input when triggering a run:
https://github.com/python/release-tools/actions/workflows/build-release.yml
It would be useful if we could also give a branch name, so for example we can trigger a run against upstream main or 3.14, so we can verify the latest state will build.
This will also help with PRs like https://github.com/python/release-tools/pull/284 where we specify which arguments to run against the Android test runner, and the test runner is in the upstream repo.
We'll need to take care of v prefix that is currently prepended in some places.
