Yes, I already noticed. It looks like a switch has issues, I can probably
look into it in the next days.

A newer Python is unfortunately not a job of packaging but more of porting.
There are several issues when trying to compile a recent Python. If you want
to take a look and bring the issues upstream it would really help getting
a newer Python package.

Apart from that the buildfarm is slowly decaying by bitrot and I don’t have
the time to fix everything. So please take my apologies for the webpage not
working properly and the connection issues.


Best regards
