We have green buildbots, yay! Thanks everyone for that. However, we still have three release blocker issues that I am not comfortable deferring. 3088 testmultiprocessing hangs intermittently on POSIX platforms 3375 multiprocessing.so build problems 874900 threading module can deadlock after fork My biggest concern is 3375 and 3088, the latter has a dependency on 874900. 3375 is very strange since a subsequent 'make' completes just fine. This issue happens for me on both OS X 10.5 and Ubuntu 8.04 for py3k. 3088 does not appear to be happening now on OS X or Ubuntu, but the issue (and its dependent issue) are not closed, so I'm not sure exactly what's going on here. So we'll give these releases another 24 hours. Please, if you have time see what you can do about resolving these three blockers. Chat with me on #python-dev if you think we should release anyway. I will try to look into 3375, but I'd like to know if anybody else is seeing these build failures. I'll note that I plan to hold the beta3 releases until all release blocker and deferred blockers are resolved. - -Barry Quick status update, since I'm the gating factor. 3088: I didn't want to close this until 874900's patch was submitted, ported to py3k and I saw green build bots. By the time I went to sleep last night, we were still seeing 2to3 test timeouts on the build bots. I will port the patch to 3k today and lower the priority of 874900 and close 3088 shortly. 3375: Guido (thanks guido) looked into this, and while I banged my head on it a lot yesterday - guido's identified the issue, and now I need to figure out a fix - help is welcome on this one. I apologize for not getting these resolved last night -jesse

Just to close the loop - 3088 is closed now, and 874900 is on py3k, therefore lowered from a release blocker for now (it needs to remain open to finish resolving a few issues)

Guido fixed 3375 (thanks again)
