Speaking as a PSF director, I might not vote for that :-) Fact is I've been keeping the build & tests 100% healthy on WinXP Pro, and that requires more than just running the tests (it also requires repairing compiler warnings and Unixisms). Speaking of which, a number of test failures over the past few weeks were provoked here only under -r (run tests in random order) or under a debug build, and didn't look like those were specific to Windows. Adding -r to the buildbot test recipe is a decent idea. Getting _some_ debug-build test runs would also be good (or do we do that already?). Anyway, since XP Pro is effectively covered, I'd be keener to see a Windows buildbot running under a different flavor of Windows. I expect I'll eventually volunteer my home box to run an XP buildbot, but am in no hurry (and probably won't leave any machine here turned on 24/7 regardless). _______________________________________________ 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
