Are you asking about buildbots only or as a general policy? If you are asking about the buildbots then I definitely think we should use 64 bits. If you are asking about policy I would say it should be an option in case people are using C extensions that are not designed to work with 64 bits.
The point is that building python in 64 bits under Solaris (family) is not easy, because the 64 bits libraries (zlib, openssl, berkeley db, curses, etc., etc., etc) are not is "/usr/lib", "/usr/local/lib", etc., but "/usr/lib/64", "/usr/local/lib/64", etc. Solaris overcomes most of the issue having separate library searchpath in 32 and 64 bits (via the "crle" command). But in some cases python try to find some library in "/usr/local/lib", and my point is that it should search TOO inside "/usr/local/lib/64". - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea@jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ jabber / xmpp:jcea@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ . _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQCVAwUBTOrD8Jlgi5GaxT1NAQJhRQP/dd4q70eXsq5AUFrleqUx3A+AagChpCcp UDHAomaX26cMl0tLFwLOd4SaKizzRMvjdTJc3GhZDIqYrF3QuqZAyLPjr5tyogP8 /4KPM73l5L2cb7IdHdSHpruwMh8f2WJ4S6+ig8DzOj6qBcttXKMymrV/skum4ENJ yb4mbpH9q/0= =Oe2G -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
