My use of "enabled" may not have been the best word choice since I didn't mean to imply a kernel option. I'm still using GENERIC on the 7.2 buildbot, so I didn't need to recompile the kernel in that release either. The issue was that the POSIX semaphore module wasn't loaded by default (something I thought only changed in 8.x), so the buildbot currently has a 'sem_load="YES"' loader.conf entry to ensure that's done. -- David _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
