Extended downtime for kloth-* workers
by Jeremy Kloth 31 May '22

31 May '22

To ensure the interested parties are aware, my workers (kloth-win11, kloth-win64 and kloth-win7) will be offline for an extended (and undetermined) period of time. I'll be moving cross-country (US) so it will be several weeks until I have a place. This shouldn't be too disruptive to coverage as David also has workers for these areas. Thanks. -- Jeremy Kloth

Running the Python test suite leaks .pem files in /tmp
by Victor Stinner 30 May '22

30 May '22

Hi, I noticed that for a few months, the Python test suite started to leak more and more files /tmp. After a few weeks, a machine can have between 2,000 and 50,000 temporary files created by Python. The filenames are random, but I noticed the issue on buildbot worker machines which only run Python. So I'm convinced that it's a Python bug. Moreover, the files are owned by the buildbot user (which is used to run the buildbot client and so all child processes). I created an issue to investigate the root issue and try to design a generic solution: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/93353 IMO the test suite should create a temporary directory per test worker process and marks a test as failure if this temporary directory is non-empty when the test completes. Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death.

Request: Add AIX 7.3 buildbot worker
by David Edelsohn 05 May '22

05 May '22

Greetings! IBM would like to add an AIX 7.3 worker to the existing AIX 7.2 worker. We suggest edelsohn-aix73-ppc64 as the name. Could this be added to the worker configuration and then I can issue a pull request for the configuration of the builders. The system will be hosted at OSUOSL, as with the current worker. Thanks, David
