Anatoly Techtonik's contribution
by Łukasz Langa 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

I'd like to raise a concern that Anatoly's actions are disruptive and largely unhelpful. His passive-agressive writing style is well known but it seems this no longer satisfies him. Today, without consulting anyone he edited our Wiki guidelines and removed the "Do not remove guidelines you do not agree with!" note (yes, really): http://wiki.python.org/moin/WikiGuidelines?action=diff&rev1=35&rev2=36 Should we react in any way? How do you perceive his contributions in general? -- Best regards, Łukasz Langa Senior Systems Architecture Engineer IT Infrastructure Department Grupa Allegro Sp. z o.o. http://lukasz.langa.pl/ +48 791 080 144

how to run hg touch automatically?
by Matthias Klose 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

I was looking at patches found in some cross-build related issues, working around building pgen during a cross build. However it looks like this can be solved by just getting the timestamps for the dependencies right, which is already done for some files. So this should be done for the the GRAMMAR files too. Would this be ok for the 3.3 branch and trunk? Then, how and when is this command run, so that you always have the correct time stamps? is it hg pull && hg update && make -f Makefile.pre.in touch? Would it be worthwhile to have a shell script python_update which just does this (idea comes from GCC's contrib/gcc_update script)? Matthias

MSDN subscriptions - new or renew
by Brian Curtin 12 Jan '13

12 Jan '13

Hi all, Before we begin: please respond directly to me. I've gotten a few requests for MSDN subscription renewals, so I may as well do a big call out to try and do this as a big group to make it easier on MS. If you're due/overdue for a renewal, send me the email address you use to login and the Subscriber ID -- this is found at https://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/manage/ when you're logged in. If you do not currently have an MSDN subscription but are interested, Microsoft's Open Source Technology Center provides our contributors with free MSDN subscriptions to allow you to get OS and Visual Studio installers/licenses. Please provide the following information if you're interested: First Name: Last Name: Email Address: Project/Company: Python Software Foundation Complete Mailing Address: Phone Number: Since the Microsoft employee who helps us with this is unlikely to respond right away due to the holidays, I'm going to gather up details and send them on 2 January, 2013. After he responds, it typically takes one week before you receive login details. Brian

server-side clones for deletion
by Chris Jerdonek 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

I was testing whether Rietveld could be used to review a devguide patch, and I accidentally created this server-side clone: http://hg.python.org/cjerdonek/sandbox-devguide/ Is there a way for me to remove it, or does someone else need to do it? In addition, if "Remote hg repo" URLs on the issue tracker don't need to be on hg.python.org, the following one can also be deleted (I was confusing this with the restriction for custom builders): http://hg.python.org/sandbox/cjerdonek-devguide/ Thanks, --Chris
