A buildbot farm with shell access - for free ?
Hi, Just saw that on one ML: http://www.snakebite.org/ http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/2009-January/000331.html Bottom line: it looks like there is a set of machines which were donated to the PSF for buildbot *with shell access* so that people can fix problems appearing on some platforms. If you look at the email, there are some 'exotic' machines that mere mortals cannot have access to (like True64 on Itanium: to quote the email "massive quad Itanium 2 RX-5670s, chock full of 73GB 15k disks and no less than 78GB of RAM between the two servers; 32GB in one and 46GB in the other"). There are also windows machines available. It is said in the email that this is reserved to the python project, and prominent python projects like Twisted and Django. Would it be ok to try to be qualified as a prominent python project as well ? cheers, David

That would be great.

From my perspective NumPy and Sage both count as prominent Python
Give it some time. Nobody - not even the Python core devs - have access to the machines. It's going to take at least several weeks to get the infrastructure running and to establish a policy. projects. Heck, you are in competition with tools like Matlab and you ain't looking bad! Furthermore you could make better use of the machines than Django because you are using way more C extensions and esoteric libraries. I recommend you subscribe to the snakebite list and bring up your interest. You got my +1 already. For now the list is snakebite-list@googlegroups.com but it will move to another server (probably Python.org) eventually. Christian
