Eric Araujo (merwok) as Distutils commiter
by Tarek Ziadé 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

Hello, I don't want to maintain Distutils anymore for various reasons. I will focus for now on on Distutils2, shutil and sysconfig. I would like to propose Eric (merwok on IRC) as a commiter to work on Distutils. He has done a great work in triaging the bugs and also has now a pretty good knowledge of the Distutils code. He's a GSOC student for distutils2 and has done a great coding work in there. I am pretty sure he would love to do this as I did. If this proposal is accepted, I will ask Eric if he accepts it and wants to work on distutils maintenance, and follow his work until Distutils2 starts to be used. Regards Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org

trunk (py3k) thawed
by Georg Brandl 01 Aug '10

Please commit away! (Especially, let's try to fix the tests and the buildbots...) Georg -- Thus spake the Lord: Thou shalt indent with four spaces. No more, no less. Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.

Windows issues blocking alpha1
by Georg Brandl 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

Hi, http://bugs.python.org/issue9116 was made a blocker this morning. I can neither verify the bug nor test the patch, so I would be grateful for any help, especially with patch review. Also, the Windows 3.x buildbot shows failures compiling _ssl and _hashopenssl (for logs, see e.g. http://bit.ly/aSAnhh). I'd like to know if this is specific to that machine (I've already mailed David about it) or a general problem. Thanks, Georg -- Thus spake the Lord: Thou shalt indent with four spaces. No more, no less. Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.

No commits please without my blessing. If you think you have something that is important enough, write me an email or come to #python-dev on freenode.

Hello, Can a committer check-in their own PEP directly, or do they have to go through the peps(a)python.org process? Thank you Antoine.

New comitter proposal: Terry Reedy
by Nick Coghlan 24 Jul '10

24 Jul '10

I'd like to propose Terry Reedy as a new comitter. He has been contributing to Python via the tracker, c.l.p, python-dev and python-ideas for years and has recently requested commit privileges in order to work on IDLE. I think we should give them to him :) Terry's been around long enough that I don't think he'll need much (if any) mentoring, but I'm certainly willing to provide any that is needed. Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan(a)gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia

svnmerge to 2.6 branch
by Georg Brandl 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hi, since the 2.7 commits now go to release27-maint, I've added svnmerge tracking from this branch to release26-maint. From now on, if you want to backport a commit to 2.6 you have to select the source manually via svnmerge merge -S /python/trunk -rREV or svnmerge merge -S /python/branches/release27-maint -rREV depending on whether the commit was made before or after the switch to release27-maint. Georg -- Thus spake the Lord: Thou shalt indent with four spaces. No more, no less. Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.

changes after 2.7 final
by Benjamin Peterson 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

After I tag 2.7 this Saturday, I will effect the following changes in the repository: - I will make the 2.7 maintenance branch. - I will remove svnmerge from trunk -> py3k. - I will initialize svnmerge from py3k -> 2.7maint. - The trunk will be officially closed. I suggest you just delete your trunk working copies (or switch them anyway) because a commit hook will be in place to prevent commits to it. -- Regards, Benjamin
