I'm also quite confused by the test_smtpd failures that pop up on some of the test runs that I've had absolutely no luck reproducing locally under OS X or Solaris. Richard

release26-maint is semi-thawed
by Barry Warsaw 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

The website is prepped and ready for 2.6.6, so Martin can upload the Windows installer for 2.6.6rc1 whenever he's ready. I have not linked the 2.6.6 page into the main site, and won't until 2.6.6 final gets released, but I will add an announcement for 2.6.6rc1 to the front page once the Windows installer is ready. The release26-maint branch is thawed for svnmerges. Please do not commit substantive changes to the branch unless you get my approval. Ideally, there'd be a bug at release blocker with your patch attached and myself made nosy for any changes you want between now and 2.6.6 final. Huge thanks to everyone on python-dev who helped out yesterday and today! -Barry

Eric Araujo (merwok) as Distutils commiter
by Tarek Ziadé 03 Aug '10

03 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

Until then I will go ahead and approve your python-committers subscription request.

release26-maint frozen
by Barry Warsaw 03 Aug '10

Okay, I'm going ahead with the release. Please no commits of any kind to the release26-maint branch for now. If you feel you must get something in, come to #python-dev and ping me. -Barry

release26-maint semi-frozen
by Barry Warsaw 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

We're going to go ahead and cut the 2.6.6rc1 release tonight, bugs.python.org willing. We've got a fairly clean test run on local hardware across OS X, Linux (Debian, Ubuntu), and Brian is looking at Windows now (the buildbots are a sad and sorry story). Ezio has done a great amount of work on getting 2.6.6 pretty clean with -3 warnings too. Please consider the release26-maint tree closed for commits (except svnmerges) for the next 2.5 hours. I'll send another message at about 2200 UTC when I freeze the tree for those commits too. You can request exceptions by pinging me on #python-dev or (if you're feeling lucky ;) sending me an email. -Barry

Postponing 2.6.6rc1
by Barry Warsaw 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

For several reasons, I'm postponing 2.6.6rc1 for one day. Ezio has been doing a lot of great work on the test suite, but there are still a few things to fix. On top of that, bugs.python.org crashed and we're waiting for our hosting company to wake up and reboot it. We'll try again, same time tomorrow: 2200 UTC. Come join us on #python-dev if you want to watch the circus. :) -Barry

python-checkins Reply-To now set for python-dev
by Barry Warsaw 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Over in #python-dev, Georg reminded us of a change to the python-checkins mailing list that was discussed a few weeks ago: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-July/101853.html Despite the mild preference of redirecting python-checkins to python-committers, I noticed that the list was already set up to redirect to python-dev (but the Reply-To munging was disabled). I've now re-enabled redirects of python-checkins to python-dev. I think it's better to default to more openness and it's not really that much traffic anyway. If it gets obnoxious we can narrow things, but let's see how it goes. -Barry

Python 2.6.6 rc 1 planned for today
by Barry Warsaw 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Hi folks, Don't forget that I am planning to cut Python 2.6.6 rc 1 later today (probably starting at around 2200 UTC). We have a number of release blockers currently reported: http://bugs.python.org/issue?@columns=title,id,activity,versions,assignee&@… Feel free to ping me on irc (freenode @ #python-dev) or follow up here if you have any input on these. I'll send the usually notes out to the committers list when I'm ready to freeze the tree. -Barry
