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.

Hi JP,
I know that this would leave OS X uncovered -- lukasa, habnabit, and
Adi have at separate points offered OS X builders of varying OS levels
and even Python versions, both on the mailing list and in #twisted-dev
(where Lukasa answered the call from this email and offered a Yosemite
builder today), which is why I am confident that this will not end up
being an issue when 15.3's first prerelease is issued.
I'd be even more confident if you don't disable the Python 2.6 OS X
builder until a new Python 2.7 OS X builder is set up. If this turns
out to be easy, then nothing has been lost. If it ends up being hard,
then it's much better than having a screwed up 15.3.
I think the prevailing reason that we don't have an OS X 2.7 bot is
that last time OS X hardware was offered, the buildbot was not being
actively maintained. I've taken up the mantle in some capacity and
getting Twisted supported on more platforms is my primary goal. And as
an OS X user, I have some vested interest in it continuing being
supported.
Once again, I'm not really clear on why the existing build slaves aren't
just being upgraded. Why is new hardware required?
Jean-Paul
