No comment from me about that (don't know anything about it, and don't have time to learn). Someone who wants to see a platform exercised needs to volunteer that platform themself (and realize that every stinkin' little step has to be so well defined that the people running the buildbot _master_ can send the exact steps needed to the slave). > ... > Much though I like SVN, it seems its working copy management still leaves > a little to be desired: Even quite recently (fairly sure it was client > version 1.2.*, on Win XP) and with read-only checkouts used only for > builds, I've still seen it end up in an incorrect state.

I doubt anyone slings more svn projects, branches and tags than Zope Corp, and I've had no problems with svn on WinXP there except when a project switches from making copies of externals to getting them via svn:externals instead -- and then everyone has problems, regardless of platform. What I _have_ had problems with is PuTTY, and recently discovered that all my months-long "svn+ssh" problems went away after backing off to the older PuTTY 0.57 (and come back again immediately upon switching to 0.58). > Still, perhaps it's wise to wipe the checkout every so often? I think it is. And while I haven't seen this under MS VC7.1 yet, a few times I caught VC 6.0 failing to recompile after a relevant header file changed. Certainly from-scratch checkout + build should be done before a release. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
