Small change to tracker 'resolution'
by R. David Murray 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

In a discussion at the sprints today Nick observed that 'invalid' was a resolution that carried a rather negative subtext ("your bug report was invalid", ie: "you made a mistake") , and that Red Hat used 'not a bug', which we all agreed was much more descriptive of the actual resolution. So, I've changed the text associated with the 'invalid' resolution to read 'not a bug' instead. --David

New mailing list for workflow/workflow infrastructure discussion/tasks
by R. David Murray 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Apologies for the cross post, but I want to make sure committers who aren't reading python-dev for one reason or another see this: Based on a number of conversations at PyCon, we've created a new mailing list: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/core-workflow The purpose of this list is to facilitate the conversations and coordinate the work that needs to happen to improve our development workflow. Nick's PEP is one piece of this conversation, but there are many other aspects to it as well. Here is the list description: This is a place to discuss and work on improvements to the CPython core development workflow and the infrastructure that supports that workflow. This includes changes to the roundup interface and functionality, rietveld, mercurial, buildbots, and any other infrastructure we may add. It also includes discussing how we use these tools, and most importantly how we use these tools to integrate the community beyond the core developers into the workflow that gets patches committed to the python repository. This means that it also includes discussions of the process of bringing in new contributors, including how we use the core-mentorship list, as well as how we organize ticket triage, and how we make use of external resources such as openhatch. Discussions of documentation and how we organize and maintain the documentation are also appropriate. Anyone who is interested helping with this, or who wants to keep up with the evolution of our thoughts on these topics, are invited to sign up to the mailing list. We will of course check in with python-dev and/or python-committers as appropriate. --David

Fwd: CPython repository - changeset not merged into default from 3.4?
by Eric V. Smith 15 Apr '14

I responded to Vinay, but I haven't heard back. I'm forwarding here in case someone else is impacted. I meant to make this change on the default branch only, but I accidentally made it on 3.4. If someone could revert it for me, I'd appreciate it. I'm away from a computer all day. I'll fix it when I get back. -- Eric.

I noticed that you made some changes in 3.4 in changeset 16efa8d27e4c which don't appear in default - is this intentional? Your changes are lumped in with mine when I try to merge :-( > > Regards, > > Vinay Sajip >
