Hi there, Recently there was a project called snakebite revealed: http://www.snakebite.org/ http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/2009-January/000331.html It's basically a whole bunch of machines that open source projects, in particular Python related ones, can make use of for testing. It's essentially a buildbot farm as I understand it. The announcement says: "Every CPython, Jython, IronPython and PyPy committer will have access to every development server on the network. I’ve also extended the offer to prominent Python projects like Django and Twisted." I think the Zope project counts as a "prominent Python project" and we have a lot of interesting code to test, so perhaps they'll let us in. :) Would people be interested in working on making use of this platform? We could use it for testing of a wide range of packages. Perhaps the ZODB would be an interesting package to start with. If so we should approach snakebite to see whether we can get on board. Regards, Martijn

I would be interested in testing the various KGS versions on the various Python versions and platforms. Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Richter Web Software Design, Development and Training Google me. "Zope Stephan Richter"

I think it would be good if we (also?) ran the compat tests, which run the tests for each package in isolation with only the required dependencies installed. This can highlight other issues (such as missing dependencies). I think we'd need to do this for various KGS versions and possibly also a combination for the most recent releases and the trunk. Anyway, if we want this, we need someone (or a group of people) to drive this. I can help contact the snakebite people if we think a formal "this is the Zope Foundation here" would help.

Me and Cristophe Combelles (ccomb) are ok to integrate the "KGS team". And we have alternates solutions if Snakebite reject Zope3 : - AFPy (french python association) get a new server - My company accept to help Zope project with a (non)dedicated server Cheers -- Sebastien Douche <sdouche@gmail.com>

I'm really excited to see the Zope 3.4.0 release. Thanks, Stephan! It's also good to have a 6-month release cycle. But we will need to stabilize the KGS very quickly. It'd be nice to let the KGS be built automatically by testing each new package version against every other packages. As Sebastien said, we have (at least) one new machine that can possibly be dedicated to set-up a buildbot, in case we can't rely on snakebite. We'll probably need help also from Marius who already did this for 3.4 ( http://zope3.pov.lt ) Christophe

In case somebody needs to know how that one's set up, you can find the buildmaster config file at http://zope3.pov.lt/master.cfg Marius Gedminas -- http://pov.lt/ -- Zope 3 consulting and development
Hey Martijn, Any chance on beating on this? Or somewhere else to have a buildbot slave on win32? Just touched zc.buildout trunk and it seems to fail miserably on win32.

Hey, I'd be very happy is someone took the initiative of contacting the snakebite people and getting it going. Please volunteer and get talking on the snakebite mailing list. If you need to contact Titus Brown who I believe is involved in this, I know him a little, and I can involve him in the discussion. But we need one or more volunteers to push this. Regards, Martijn
