Misc/NEWS entries added to released versions
by Matthias Klose Sept. 14, 2009

Sept. 14, 2009

While looking at the diffs between the 261 release tags and the 26 branch, I noticed many items in Misc/NEWS appearing in the 2.6.1 or even 2.6 sections. I moved all of these to 2.6.2, after checking some of them, and found all of the checked ones be backported after the 2.6.1 release. Is there anything what could be done to avoid these wrong merges? I plan to check the items on the 3.0 branch soon. Matthias

Snakebite buildbot slaves: opinions wanted
by Trent Nelson April 28, 2009

April 28, 2009

Howdy, I'm as ready as I'll ever be -- it's time to start setting up some Python buildbot slaves on Snakebite. I wanted to reach out and see if anyone had any particularly strong opinions on how the slaves should be set up. We've got two main options: use the existing Python buildbot master and just create new slaves for Snakebite hosts, or, set up a new Snakebite-specific buildbot master for now, keeping it completely separate from the existing infrastructure. I think for at least the first couple of months it's best to assume the Snakebite slaves will be wildly unstable/unavailable, or at the very least, that's how I'd like everyone to view them, just so expe- ctations aren't set too high. FWIW, I presented the same option to the Twisted folk, and they said they'd prefer to use their existing buildbot master, claiming that they're used to unreliable buildbots and false-positive e-mail noti- fication, and noting that they have something similar to our own 'stable' buildbot view that slaves are promoted to once they've dem- onstrated they're not falling over every other commit. (Additionally, we agreed that we could set up a 'snakebite' buildbot view for all the Snakebite slaves, which has numerous benefits; we could do this for Python as well.) Thoughts? Trent.

How to get your Snakebite account
by Trent Nelson April 27, 2009

April 27, 2009

....and in the same vein of being as ready as I'll ever be: it's time to set up Snakebite accounts for everyone! As I've alluded to in the past, Python language implementation committers get ac- cess by default. Can you please e-mail accounts(a)lists.snakebite.org and provide the following details: - Full name (first, last) - Preferred login name [1] - Contact e-mail address [2] - SSH key (RSA or DSA is fine): I can't enforce this, but please make sure you use suitably secured keys, either via passphrases or storing the private key on encrypted media. I'd prefer the key in the OpenSSH format as it saves me having to convert it. [1]: The original plan to use <first>.<last> login names lasted about a day; unfortunately, we're at the mercy of NIS on the UNIX side of things, and login names <= 8 characters with no special characters (i.e. only a-z) are the lowest common den- ominator. So, you can have whatever login name you want, as long as it conforms to <= 8 a-z characters. For a list of logins already taken: wiki.snakebite.org/accounts. [2]: This e-mail address will be added to members(a)lists.snakebite- .org; a private e-mail list explicitly for Snakebite account holders (analogous to python-committers@ in a way). Regards, Trent.

bug in svnmerge w.r.t. new files
by Georg Brandl April 10, 2009

April 10, 2009

I just wanted to merge a series of commits to py3k where the first added a new file, and the others changed it. Output was: property 'svnmerge-integrated' deleted from '.'. property 'svnmerge-blocked' deleted from '.'. --- Merging r71409 into '.': A Doc/tools/sphinxext/static/basic.css svnmerge: command execution failed (exit code: 1) svn --non-interactive propdel "svnmerge-integrated" "." svn: Attempting to delete nonexistent property 'svnmerge-integrated' As the error message indicates, the svnmerge properties are *deleted* in this case. Committing will delete them in the repo as well. Doing an "svn revert -R .", deleting the added file(s) and starting over, going through the revisions one by one, seems to work. Georg
