Feature request: configurable MANIFEST_URL and downloadUrl for mirrors #1233
Description
Hi team 👋
Description:
I’d like to ask if setup-python could support customizing MANIFEST_URL and downloadUrl.
In self-hosted environments like Gitea, I mirror GitHub Action repositories locally due to firewall restrictions.
Currently, some URLs inside the action are hardcoded to GitHub (e.g., MANIFEST_URL), which prevents using mirrors.
It would be helpful to allow overriding these URLs via with: parameters so mirrored sources can be used.
Justification:
- I maintain a self-hosted Gitea instance and mirror actions to avoid firewall issues.
- Overriding hardcoded URLs would allow users in restricted regions to use mirrors without modifying the action code.
- Manual code modification is inconvenient because I still periodically sync updates from upstream. Supporting this feature would simplify maintenance and increase usability for self-hosted deployments.
Are you willing to submit a PR?
No, I am just proposing the feature.
Thanks so much for your work on setup-python! I really appreciate your time and consideration. 🙏
