Setup is hellish,
Agreed, though I have everything going with my own testing buildbot master (everything for the trunk build that is). My only remaining problem is that I can't connect to python.org's master. (Following up with Martin.)
The second-worst part was figuring out which parts of various software docs could be ignored.
:) Did you apply the Berkeley DB patches to your db-4.2.52 sources?
I recorded all that remained here:
correction for others: http://wiki.python.org/moin/BuildbotOnWindows
"x86 XP-2 trunk". I'd still like to give it a go. The machine I'd use (initially at least) would be Win2k -- so not just a dupe of Tim's WinXP box.
That would be great. A dupe of WinXP would also be great: I'm not going to keep my buildbot slave up all the time, or anywhere near all the time.
I'm worried about the load this is going to cause on this machine with a new build for every checkin (granted they are serialized so not for *every* checkin). The full (doubled) test suite takes a *long* time to run on Windows. It looks like it took about 25 minutes on your box. It is taking over 40 minutes on one of my machines here. :( This Windows box needs an enema. Remaining TODOs: - get connection to python.org master working - make sure the python24-maint branch one works - see about the load issue - get the build slaves running as a Windows service - update PCbuild/readme.txt Trent -- Trent Mick TrentM@ActiveState.com
