enabling a configure option
Hello python-dev, r68924 in py3k introduced a new configure option named --with-computed-gotos. It would be nice if one of the buildbots could exercise this option, so that the code doesn't rot (the buildbot has to use gcc). Whom should I ask for this? Speaking of which, there are only five buildbots remaining in the "stable" bunch... What has happened to the others? Regards Antoine.

Me. Does it have to be a configure option? It is difficult to invoke different commands in different branches; better if the configures in all branches get the same options. Of course, the configure command doesn't have to be "configure"; any other script available in all branches would work (there is already Tools/buildbot for such scripts).

I've removed all slaves that were down and where the owners either didn't respond, or indicated that they can't bring the slaves up anytime soon. Regards, Martin

Well, after a quick test, it seems that configure doesn't complain if you pass it an unknown option (at least one that begins with '--with'). So we can still use the same options on all branches. (as for the need for it to be a configure option, it was the consensus which emerged after discussion in the tracker entry, both to provide some flexibility and for fear that enabling it by default could trigger some compiler bugs -- although the latter is of course unlikely) Regards Antoine.
