potiuk opened a new pull request, #28697: URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/28697
We've only supported to install `pip` from released packages with a version number, but since `pip` does not support RC candidates (as extensively discussed in https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/10882) we cannot use the release versions to do that. We still want to help `pip` maintainers and be able to test the versions they release as early as possible, so we add support to install `pip` in our toolchain from a GitHub URL. That will allow us to test new `pip` version as soon as designated branch of `pip` will contain something resembling a release candidate ready for testing. <!-- Thank you for contributing!
