[Python-Dev] fixing buildbots (original) (raw)

I've been starting to get some of the buildbots working again. There was some massive problem on May 25 where a ton of extra files were left around. I can't remember if I saw something about that at the NFS sprint or not.

There is a lingering problem that I can't fix on all the boxes. Namely:

cp Modules/Setup{.dist,}

Should we always do that step before we build on the buildbots? The warning about Setup.dist being newer than Setup is displayed. I can understand why we wouldn't want to unconditionally overwrite a user's modified Setup. However, for the buildbots, it seems safer to always overwrite it.

Any objections? Any ideas for the best way to implement this? A separate BB step for Unix clients? In the makefile?

Martin, I would have fixed it on your Solaris box, but I don't think I can get access to the buildbot's account.
