[Twisted-Python] Buildbot downtime
by Tom Prince 03 Mar '22

03 Mar '22

I am plannig to upgrade twisted's buildbot in the near future. In preperation for that, I am going to take down the production buildbot on Tuesday, June 26, around 1600 UTC[1]. During that time, the result of any builds done will be lost. Thus, I'd ask that people avoid committing to trunk during that time. I will send a reminder before I take down the buildbot both here, and on #twisted and #twisted-dev. Tom [1] http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?iso=20120626&p1=80&p2=22…

[Twisted-Python] Twisted Python 0.7.0 Prerelease Testing
by Glyph Lefkowitz 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

hi there, folks: I'd really like to release 0.7.0 but I would like it to be at least a little bit tested before I do so. Could those of you with CVS trees check everything out and see if it performs as advertised? Deeper bugs than that will have to wait for the next release, but I'd at least like to know if it works for someone other than me. Thanks. ______ __ __ _____ _ _ | ____ | \_/ |_____] |_____| |_____| |_____ | | | | @ t w i s t e d m a t r i x . c o m http://www.twistedmatrix.com/~glyph/

[Twisted-Python] code contribution/participation policy
by Boris Epstein 10 Mar '21

10 Mar '21

Hi all, I have started working with Twisted and found it to be a very powerful package. That said, some modules are not documented very thoroughly (big surprise in the world of software, right?) and I also found some questionable code, too. If I were to contribute fixes/improvements, what is the submission procedure? Thanks. Boris.

[Twisted-Python] revert / rework of "AMPv2" change?
by Glyph 28 Nov '20

28 Nov '20

I just glanced at https://github.com/twisted/twisted/pull/1417 <https://github.com/twisted/twisted/pull/1417> after it was merged and noticed a few problems: - It exposes a new top-level name rather than setting the protocol version as a parameter - The NEWS files are malformed which is going to lead to some confusing duplication in the changelog - AMPv2 itself does not appear to be "standardized" - the page at https://amp-protocol.net/conversations_v2.html <https://amp-protocol.net/conversations_v2.html> appears to be a preliminary suggestion for how long values might be handled rather than something broadly implemented; for one thing, I'd never heard of it before and for another the site itself doesn't link the document. This would be fine as a first draft, but I think it needs to be given some more revisions, given that (for example) there are a number of backwards-compatible ways to do this. - The layering is wrong because it puts the protocol-parsing into a leaf class in the hierarchy, when the parsing logic was deliberately isolated to a lower level to facilitate different framing mechanisms. - As JP pointed out, the tests have a potential bug where they can leak errors between cases. I don't normally like to revert folks' work once it's been reviewed and accepted, particularly when there's no process violation (broken CI, lack of code coverage etc), but I'm particularly concerned about lending Twisted's imprimatur to this protocol extension as a whole new version without much more context on who is implementing it and what other options were considered, particularly when I personally (nominally the inventor of AMP) don't like the direction it has taken :). What do other folks think? Anyone else have more of a finger on the pulse of where the "v2" conversation has been happening? -glyph

[Twisted-Python] smb component progress
by Ian Haywood 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

I have continued to work slowly on this project. Named pipes are supported, the samba client can connect and list available shares. i am currently working on a vfs layer using deferToThread to provide asynchronous file access I have tried to keep the code divided into logically separate chunks . my first chunk received comments from glyph 2 months ago but has remained in the review queue since. https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/9818 is there anyone available to review this code to progress it ?

[Twisted-Python] Re-run Azure tests
by Adi Roiban 24 Oct '20

24 Oct '20

Hi, There was a discussion over IRC about re-running failed Azure tests. I was confused, as if I go to the Azure build page, I don't see any re-run job option. Maarten told me that the re-run link is on the GitHub page, and not on Azure. See the screenshot below. I hope this helps :) Cheers [image: image.png] -- Adi Roiban

[Twisted-Python] towncrier review policies and etiquette (and maybe releases too)
by Kyle Altendorf 22 Oct '20

22 Oct '20

Where does towncrier stand on review policies and etiquette? I generally don't like to just jump into new projects and start reviewing and merging but I don't see other activity on that front nor do I see any guidance on how it should be done. If I know how to proceed properly then I might dedicate some review time to it. Cheers, -kyle
