[Python-Dev] Sad status of Python 3.x buildbots (original) (raw)

Hello all I don't mind helping out with maintaining buildbots / other build machines. Although I don't have a lot of experience with this sort of thing (I usually just ran a Jenkins for my own work), I think it would be a useful way to contribute. Let me know what I should do if you are all fine with this.

Thanks Shorya Raj

Maintaining a buildbot isn't hard. (Although one thing I'm not sure of: If my bot goes down for an extended period of time, is any sort of automated email sent to me? I don't often check their status.) But it does mean a measure of trust in some external entity, or else some very careful rules (mainly firewall), which not every coder will know about. ChrisA
