This page contains general information about the Python BuildBot setup and issues.

[http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/ Here are the current BuildBot results.]

There are several unstable tests and other issues. These are not problems with BuildBot, but rather are problems with Python and/or the environment it is built/run in.

Platform	Version	Issue
Mac OS X 10.3	2.[45]	getaddrinfo configure check fails sometimes
cygwin	2.5	test_bsddb3 crashes interpreter (old version of BSD DB?), test_curses, test_socketserver, test_time fail
Ubuntu (hppa)	2.5	test_wait[34] fail (hang) sometimes on hppa
Tru64 (alpha)	2.[45]	test_signal fails (hangs) sometimes. The minimal set I was able to use to reproduce: test_thread test_audioop test_tcl test_ctypes test_runpy test_zipfile test_decimal test_fork1 test_signal
All	2.[45]	Berkeley DB 3.2 is killed when running test_bsddb3, test_bsddb fails
All	2.[45]	test_socket{,ssl,_server} fail if another test instance is running

Here's a list of currently unexplained test failures:

http://python.org/dev/buildbot/all/alpha%20Debian%20trunk/builds/41/step-test/0
- test test_ctypes failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pybot/buildarea/trunk.klose-debian-alpha/build/Lib/ctypes/test/test_python_api.py", line 41, in test_PyInt_Long
  - self.failUnlessEqual(grc(42), ref42)
  AssertionError: 550 != 551
- http://python.org/dev/buildbot/all/alpha%20Tru64%205.1%202.4/builds/69/step-test/0
  - test_signal hangs

We need to add more platforms to the BuildBot farm. If you have one of these machines you are willing to run BuildBot on, please contact python-dev@python.org:

Windows (and see BuildbotOnWindows)
AIX
HP-UX
FreeBSD, NetBSD

It might also be beneficial to run on older versions of operating systems or others not mentioned above. Feel free to contact us if you would like to offer another type of system.

Installing a buildslave

You need to fetch the latest [http://buildbot.sf.net buildbot source]. It requires Python and Twisted.

A buildslave also needs subversion, and it needs to be able to build Python.

Unpack and install it.

Create a new user "buildbot" (highly recommended)

% su - buildbot

% mkdir buildarea

% buildbot slave pwd/buildarea dinsdale.python.org:9020 slavename slavepasswd

You'll need to get someone to create the slavename/slavepasswd on dinsdale.python.org before doing this. Talk to someone like Martin, Anthony or Neal to do this.

Then edit buildarea/info/admin and buildarea/info/host to set them appropriately.

Finally, start buildbot with:

% buildbot start ~/buildarea
