The big problem now on the FreeBSD buildbot is that test_multiprocessing reliably causes the whole test run to abort with 'Signal 12'. Solving this may be as simple as just getting someone to install a copy of FreeBSD 6.2 on an ssh-accessible machine so that the source of the error can be tracked down.
I could arrange ssh access to the build slave if that would help anyone who wants to look into that.
I suspect it would help a lot! Thanks for the offer. Jesse would likely be able to pin down the cause of the failure faster than I would, but I don't know how many cycles he has available.
Just contact me directly.
I'll do that, if/when I find time.
In terms of the overall release, I'm also fine with upgrading the build slave to 6.4. Or I could jump up to 7.2 instead. When I first brought the build slave up, 7.x wasn't finalized yet - not sure now which release is more prevalent in use.
Not sure either, but it's certainly useful to be able to test on FreeBSD 6.x. Ideally, we'd have buildslaves for both... Mark
