Hi David, as Brett leaked, I am developing software towards making this buildbot dilemma easier to deal with. It's not really ready for primetime yet; I'll send you a link off-list. I am also (physically) hosting Snakebite, which Trent Nelson will be tackling over the next few months. And, finally, I now have Windows VMs (XP, Vista, 7) and a Mac OS X box that I can dedicate to Python purposes. I even have a student that will be monitoring those boxes. I am happy to give you access to these machines if you want to set up buildbot on them; buildbot is compatible with my own endeavors, so that would actually help me out ;) I will be buying more/better/bigger Linux hardware over the next few months, too, and I am happy to slice that off to provide more VMs -- basically whatever x86-based platforms people think are needed. cheers, --titus -- C.
