Great stuff Trent! I was wondering how you were doing.

I really appreciate what it takes to put these open resources together ;) There's a lot of moving parts :)

Cheers, Jim

BTW.

We now have zone servers in the OpenSolaris test farm, and I plan to add guest os servers in the next few weeks using ldoms (sparc) and xvm (x64). The zone servers provide whole root zones, which should be a good development environment for most projects. Check it out:

Let me know if there is interest from the python community to manage one of the test farm servers for python development. Besides the general use machines, the php community is already managing a T2000 server.

Jim:

Thanks, this is a terrific offer. I am copying it to the Python developers list so they can discuss it - I know that Solaris is one of the platforms we do get quite a few build questions about.
