New wiki page: RFP Parrot needs better smoke reports

2008-01-02 Thread James E Keenan

James, I've been seeing this problem off and on for over a month. As you've noticed, it's rather intermittent, however, when the problem occurs it persists for up to couple of hours. I've also seen that this is platform independent, and so guessed that the problem existed at the server end

2008-01-02 Thread James Keenan via RT
With the application of patches in r24102 (Dec 19) and r24294 (Dec 30), the issues raised by Andy Dougherty have been addressed. He reports all tests are passing. As I have done with other configuration step classes, I have refactored as much code as possible out of runstep() and placed it in
