kill Testrunner scratchbox support? (arm develoment)
Hi, in the refine-testrunner branch i am currently refactoring the testrunner to allow easyer reasoning about its code and support junitxml (for better result metadata than the resultlog format) While doing so i noticed that we don't seem to use scratchbox anymore, but (according to a comment from armin on IRC) rather a modern alternative. So i am wondering if I can maybe scrap the support. However i would need some help of someone that handled the current arm setup, to roughly explain the current setup/needs. -- Ronny

Hi Ronny, the ARM buildbots use scratchbox2 to cross-translate the PyPy binaries for ARM. The tests run natively on ARM hardware and do not use any emulation, so I think it is safe to remove the scratchbox support in the testrunner. David
Are you really winning anything with that kill? If you want to kill it just to kill it please don't, we might want to use it in the future On Mon, Oct 6, 2014 at 12:47 PM, David Schneider <david.schneider@bivab.de> wrote:
