The first build my new root buildbot did showed errors in the 2.7 test suite, but I thought little of it as quite a few other 2.7 buildbots are showing red, too. But it seems they're showing different errors, so there might be something wrong with the setup. http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20Debian%20root%202.7/builds/3... First off, it's complaining about being unable to build _curses (lacking curses.h). Is that a mandatory prereq that I should install, or should Python be compatible with not having it? Then further down, several SSL tests attempt: s.connect_ex(("svn.python.org", 444))) and get back EAGAIN when they're expecting ECONNREFUSED. Possibly my firewall's delaying things somewhat and it's timing out with a signal; when I try manually, the connection times out. Are these failures a problem? Should they be fixed? The 3.x builds are all coming up green. ChrisA
