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

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.
