[Python-Dev] "Buildbot" category on the tracker (original) (raw)

But the real reason for having a buildbot category (or at least a keyword) would be to be able to tag all bugs that are currently making buildbots fail that are not the result of a recent checkin. This would make the task of finding the bugs that need to be cleaned up to stabilize the buildbot fleet easier. I'm currently aware of issues 4970, 3892, and 6462 in this category, and there are a few more that we can/will file if we continue to pay attention to the failure reports now arriving on the irc channel.

That's convincing; I've created a "buildbot" keyword. I gave it the description

"indicates that tests fail on a buildslave for uncertain reasons"

If that is indeed the intended purpose of this classification, please keep it in mind when assigning the tag. If I misunderstood the purpose of the keyword, please provide a better description.

Regards, Martin
