Ah... Yes I see this in strstr for example.



Thanks, that sounds reasonable.



This is basically what I have done in the patch I hope.
I have updated the patch to include a comment explaining
why output  param is char ** and the need for a cast.


Have I address the issues sufficiently for the patch to be accepted?

Should I go ahead a create the python 3 version of the patch?

That's not really a challenge to the buildbot operator, though - the
buildbot will continue just fine afterwards, right?

For some reason, the test suite stopped producing output, and
eventually, the buildbot decided to kill the build process.
Most likely, the machine ran severely out of memory, so everything
stopped working.

Martin

We'll see, indeed.

I only know to setup mainstream Linux distros though (Debian- or
Redhat-lookalikes :-)). I've just played a bit and, after the hassle of juggling
with a bunch of different keys and credentials, setting up an instance and
saving an image for future use is quite easy.

Antoine.

[Python-Dev] thanks to everyone cleaning up the tests

2009-10-31 Thread Brett Cannon
Just wanted to publicly thank everyone who has been causing all the
checkins to fix and stabilize the test suite (I think it's mostly
Antoine and Mark, but I could be missing somebody; I'm under a
deadline so only have marginal higher brain functionality).

A lot of work was done by David (RDM).

Thanks !
