Indeed, I'm going to carve out some time over the Christmas/NY
break
to work on this. There should really be a "Developer's Guide"
that
explains how to get the most out of the network.
Thanks, indeed a more permanent place would be nice. So from reading
the
above, am I correct in the understanding that these hosts don't actually run tests at the moment? They only do if we log into them to test stuff? I think it would be really nice if they could actually run as buildbot slaves and execute Python tests continuously.
Almost all of them are running slaves, and have been since ~August. Take a look at our buildbot page -- any host with [SB] in the name is a Snakebite host.
Trent.
Ah, I see. Thanks. Eli
