Looking this over, it seems like there were outstanding objections to adding this to the devguide and to the content.
I have no issues with the content of the second patch. However, snakebite has changed the situation a little: We don't need more buildbots, we need experts in AIX and HP-UX. For DragonFlyBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD we'd ideally need someone who reports the OS bugs (there are a couple) upstream so that the bots finally turn green and become useful. So on fact the first paragraph of the patch is now a little outdated. Given the current situation I think it would be more useful to add http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-September/121651.html to the devguide. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13124> _______________________________________
