Hi everyone,
As mentioned in http://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-
python/2015-March/029258.html , Twisted is removing Python 2.6 support.
As such, I would like to announce that 15.3 will be the last release
with 2.6 support. After this release, the Python 2.6 buildbots will be
removed from the 'supported' list and most likely retired.
This will remove all buildbot coverage of OS X and RHEL/CentOS. As I've
been taking point on the buildbots recently, I'm going to be deploying
a new CentOS 7 buildslave which will provide coverage of that platform.
That just leaves OS X uncovered -- so if you would like to donate
buildslaves for this, please send me an email.
I think this is backwards. There was basically no strong argument made
against dropping Python 2.6 support but there was no case made for
dropping OS X support. I don't think you can remove the only OS X
builder from the supported list. That's equivalent to saying OS X
support is being dropped.
So either the existing OS X slaves need to be upgraded first (I don't
see why you wouldn't just do this) or Python 2.6 support (at least on OS
X) needs to be retained until someone else volunteers a Python 2.7 OS X
slave.
