I ran into a problem on HP-UX (B.11.23 U ia64) using Python 2.4.3, whereby processes started via reactor.spawnProcess() never seem to get the completion event. I fished around via Google and found that this is ticket #608, which has been hanging around for over 2 years.

I'd be willing to help troubleshoot this if someone could provide some guidance. I'd really like to get this fixed ASAP, so any help is appreciated.

I've commented on #608. Long story short: we need a buildbot, and probably a maintainer for HP/UX. Interested in volunteering?

You probably want to add yourself as "cc" specifically on that bug, if you don't want to subscribe to the mailing list.

Actually, I had to subscribe anyway (my email was rejected the first time),

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "buildbot" exactly--obviously something that builds Twisted, but is it something I'd run myself, or something that needs to be accessible from the Internet? I could help out in the short term, but I'm no HP-UX wiz; I'm only using it for one particular project because that's the hardware they run it on (to my dismay).

It's the thing driving this page: http://twistedmatrix.com/buildbot/ It's how we can tell if Twisted works on various platforms or not. Without a buildslave running on a particular platform, we have no way to keep track of whether changes being made are correct on that platform. Jean-Paul
