[Python-Dev] buildbots

[Antoine Pitrou]

Hello,

As someone who could (perhaps) (potentially) provide a buildbot machine, there
are several questions which need answering before I take a decision:

- are more buildbots needed and if so, which kinds of platforms/architectures?
- for which software? Python itself? third-party apps and libraries?
- how resource-consuming is it? CPU? memory? disk space? can it run along other
services fine or does it need the whole machine for itself?
- how time-consuming is it (in terms of human work)? I may spend a bit of time
at the start to set it up but I'd like it to it run quite flawlessly afterward.
I'm really not a sysadmin at heart...

I suppose other interested people could ask themselves the same questions...

Just my 2 cents.

Antoine.
