Yes. For example, that's how the buildbots run 2.4 tests. > I assume I just have to enter a revision number and press the force-build > button, is this correct? No, you need to enter the "tail end" of the branch path in the "Branch to build:" box. You probably want to leave the "Revision to build:" box empty. Examples I know work because I've tried them in the past: entering "trunk" in "Branch to build:" builds the current trunk, and entering "branches/release24-maint" in "Branch to build:" builds the current 2.4 branch. I'm not certain that paths other than those work. > Or would someone consider this abuse? In this case, it only matters whether Matthias Klose thinks it's abuse (since klose-debian-ppc64 is his box), so I've copied him on this reply. Matthias, I hope you don't mind some extra activity on that box, since it may be the only way test_ctypes will ever pass on your box :-) _______________________________________________ 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
