Bill listed several other failures he saw on the buildbots and I see the

Still, the question would be whether any of these failures can manage
to block a release. Are they regressions from 2.6?
The test_posix failure is a regression from 2.6 (but it only shows up on
some machines - it is caused by a fairly braindead implementation of a
couple of posix apis by Apple apparently).

There are various patches available and a lot of work that has gone into
diagnosing it - but there was some disagreement on what is the *best*
way to fix it.
Two of the other failures I'm pretty sure are problems in the test suite
rather than bugs (as Bill said) and I'm not sure about the ctypes issue.
Just starting a full build here.

That would make them good candidates for release blockers. Except that
I still would like to see commitment from somebody to fix them or else
they can't block the release: if "we" don't mean that supporting a
platform also means volunteering to fix bugs, then I guess "we" should
stop declaring the
platform supported. Just wishing that it was supported actually
doesn't make it so.
If the test failure *isn't* a regression, I think it shouldn't block
the release.
Regards,
Martin
