Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] get an OS X buildbot into the stable set
Do we need 10.5 and powerpc coverage for python.org purposes, or is latest OS/current machines enough? -- Dan Rabin On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 11:05 AM, Bill Janssen jans...@parc.com wrote: Shashwat Anand anand.shash...@gmail.com wrote: I have Intel machine (2.53 GhZ, 4gb Ram) with Snow Leopard running on it and the system is 'ON' 24x7 with an average uptime of 1 month.

Right now, I've got as many PPC 10.4 and 10.5 machines as we need. We could use Intel Core 2 Duo (or better) machines running Leopard, and Snow Leopard. Our current Intel OS X buildbot is a Core Duo (so no 64-bit) Mac Mini running Tiger. We also can't make them stable unless this is a kind of long-term 24x7 commitment, so machines already running as servers and unlikely to be decommissioned in the near future would be good.

I thought may be I can be of help regarding buildbots ( you mentioned something similar in issue 9048) I don't think you can do anything about the buildbots, they seem to be running although somewhat slowly. The major problem with the buildbots for OSX is that it seems that for the most part OSX specific issues linger until I get around fixing them. That's not completely fair, Ned also does some bugfixing when he has time, but it is worrysome that such a major platform gets so little attention from developers (both the core developers and the rest of the community).

Doesn't have to be new... The next step is to turn those buildbots green. After they're green, we can propose them for addition to the stable set. So, something the Mac SIG could do to help is to take a look at the buildbot output, and figure out why they're red, and not green.
