Hi folks, I'm facing some issues with the hypervisor of the aarch64 linux buildbots. The buildbots have been offline for some time now, I'm trying to resolve some issues with the hypervisor and hopefully I'll have them running again soon. -- Regards, Charalampos Stratakis Senior Software Engineer Python Maintenance Team, Red Hat

Removing the RHEL7 buildbots
by Charalampos Stratakis 19 Aug '24

19 Aug '24

Hello folks, RHEL7's has reached the end of its maintenance support phase at the end of June 2024. While the extended maintenance support will continue till 2028, with the Software Collections product being EOL, no new python versions will be added. The latest supported Python version offered through RHEL7 is Python 3.6, with the main system-python being Python 2.7. Hence I'd like to remove the RHEL7 buildbots provided by me. A PR has been sent: https://github.com/python/buildmaster-config/pull/518 -- Regards, Charalampos Stratakis Senior Software Engineer Python Maintenance Team, Red Hat

Offer: AMD64 Debian Root Free-Threading buildbot
by Chris Angelico 18 Nov '23

18 Nov '23

With no-GIL builds becoming more important, is there need of a second AMD64 Debian root buildbot to cover this configuration? I'm happy to host a second bot VM on the same system as the existing angelico-debian-amd64 builder. It can be given identical resources to the existing one (as of today, that's 2 CPU cores off an Intel 14700KF, 4GB RAM, and 100GB storage). ChrisA

Setting up new buildbot workers
by Itamar O 24 Aug '23

24 Aug '23

Hello! As described in the docs <https://devguide.python.org/testing/new-buildbot-worker/>, I'm reaching out to this mailing list to discuss adding new buildbot workers and obtain the needed credentials. I'm looking to add workers to run NoGIL builders. Currently I have two workers I'd like to add - a Linux one (x86_64 Fedora), and a MacOS one (MacBook Pro 2019 Intel, currently running Ventura 13.5 but regularly updated). Also planning to add a Windows worker at a later time. Cheers, Itamar.

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.
