Hi,today I noticed some issues with the tinderbox runs of lang/python33 First of all, the test: target introduced causes artifacts within ${PREFIX}, effectively polluting the user environment. Is this really intended? In my opinion a port, that executes the test target, should do this either in a separate directory/environment to avoid cluttering the user's environment with garbage (well, it's Python's fault here in my opinion to use a test/data directory for the test results). However, a user will most likely not execute a test target within a typical installation procedure, tinderbox however does, causing two issues: - around 15 test files are created in %%PYTHON_SITELIBDIR%%/test/data - the python test cases randomly crash and require about 45 minutes to run, whereas they take about 5 minutes to run outside of a tinderbox and never crash[1] The usefulness of the test target hence is (at the moment) zero, contradicting its purpose. I would strongly advocate to back it out asap. If there are no other opinions on that, I'll do so on the next Sunday. [1] on my box of course :-)
Yup, was aware of the leftovers but obviously didn't get around to resolving it.
+1 on removing the the test target until i/we can figure out a way to avoid the spurious file creation (or cleanup after)
