[Python-Dev] SPARC testers (and buildbot!) needed

[Stefan Krah]

Hello,

currently the only cheap way for developers to test on SPARC that I'm
aware of is using this old Debian qemu image:

http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/sparc/


That image still uses linuxthreads and may contain any number of platform
bugs. It is currently impossible to run the test suite without bus errors,
see:

http://bugs.python.org/issue15589


Could someone with access to a SPARC machine (perhaps with a modern version
of Debian-sparc) grab a clone from http://hg.python.org/cpython/ and run
the test suite?


Also, it would be really nice if someone could donate a SPARC buildbot.
