I'm maintaining the i386 OpenBSD buildbot:

http://buildbot.python.org/all/buildslaves/borja-openbsd-x86

It has been down for the past few weeks because Mercurial is not able to clone the cpython repository anymore on that box. I keep that system running a latest snapshot of the system, so the tests could be run on the latest changes to things like libressl, and it seems at one point something got broken with Mercurial. More info in this thread in the ports@openbsd mailing list:

I'm still trying to find out what happens there, as soon as I can fix that, the buildslave will be back online.

This may be a red herring, but when did your problems start in relation to http://hg.python.org automatically redirecting to https://hg.python.org? And though it probably makes no difference, I did just update the master last week to us https://h.p.o instead of making hg handle the redirect.

Very nice idea. IIRC I've mentioned on #python-devel in freenode why this one was down, but maybe that is not the best place for such notifications.

Hence this list :)

One last question, will we use this list to discuss stuff regarding the buildbots/slaves?

Yes, that should be fine. If things get too high traffic (and of no use to anybody but the slave owner and whoever is adjusting the master), things can always be taken off-list.

i.e., in this openbsd slave I still see builders called "openbsd 5.5 3.x" and such, while that is not exactly true, my system does not run a fixed version of openbsd, but the latest version available every few weeks. Dunno if this would be the place to mention that kind of stuff or not (or if they matter really).

I'll try to fix that name. What would be the most accurate (succinct) name for it? Just "x86 OpenBSD 3.x" (for example), or "x86 Latest OpenBSD"?
