Adding a Fedora Rawhide x86_64 to the buildbot fleet
by Charalampos Stratakis April 8, 2019

April 8, 2019

Hello everyone, We've recently got a Fedora Rawhide virtual machine which should be available and up at all times and I'd like to add it to the existing fleet of buildbots. Thus I'd like to request for a worker name and a password for it. I'm currently following the instructions at [0] for setting up the buildbot. https://devguide.python.org/buildworker/ -- Regards, Charalampos Stratakis Software Engineer Python Maintenance Team, Red Hat

Hi, I am preparing to set up Windows ARM32 buildbots. The doc page at https://devguide.python.org/buildworker/ says to send email to this alias to discuss adding a worker and to get a workername and password. Thanks, Paul

Idea: have a different buildbot server for unstable workers?
by Victor Stinner March 27, 2019

Hi, I'm working on getting green buildbot workers at https://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders but they are many workers which are "known" to be broken. Recently, Cheryl asked me if she broke Alpine Linux... well, as far as I recall, this one has always been broken: Python doesn't support musl C library. What do you think of having a separated website for unstable buildbots? Why doing that? Right now, the server is sending notifications by email and IRC on some state changes like green => red or purple (exception) => another color. It generates noise which annoy me when I would like to have a look at buildbots. The other "unstable" buildbot servers would either not send any notification, or use a different email address / different IRC channel. List of workers that I would like to move there: * AIX * Alpine Linux * Cygwin * UBSan My intent is also to clarify the difference between a "fully supported platform" and "best effort platform support": https://pythondev.readthedocs.io/platforms.html My intent is not to kick some platforms out of Python. What do you think? Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death.

but disabled on custom builders. I deployed the new configuration: https://github.com/python/buildmaster-config/commit/e85208dd39ad55741273b66… Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death.
