[Python-Dev] Unable to resolve svn.python.org: OS/X

[Jesse Noller]

The other day, Martin pointed out that my buildslave had gone off the
reservation: on restarting it via the "buildbot start ~/buildarea"
command - Martin noticed the slave had started throwing the DNS
resolution error:

 closing stdin
 using PTY: True
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/projects/python/branches/py3k'
svn: PROPFIND of '/projects/python/branches/py3k': Could not resolve
hostname `svn.python.org': Temporary failure in name resolution
(http://svn.python.org)
program finished with exit code 1

Apparently, this has bothered a few buildbots. Some quick googling
popped up the fix:

http://buildbot.net/trac/wiki/UsingLaunchd

After dropping the attached plist file in /Library/LaunchDaemons and
setting the permissions right (and then chown -R'ing the existing
buildarea for the buildbot user to buildbot:daemon) - running "sudo
launchctl load org.python.buildbot.slave.plist" brought the buildbot
back up in working order.

Hopefully this helps out.
