Interesting - I probably would have assumed removing 2010 was safe for 2.7 as well. However, all of my 2.7 builders (XP/7/8/10) currently have both 2008 and 2010 so any dependency on 2010 would go unnoticed.
Assuming the 2010 dependency is unintentional, or we specifically want to test without it, the XP slave no longer builds anything but 2.7, so I could actually uninstall 2010 from that machine without affecting any other builders, or requiring any special configuration to avoid a 2010 installation. -- David On Thu, Nov 3, 2016 at 2:40 PM, Jeremy Kloth <jeremy.kl...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > I was recently cleaning up my buildbot, clearing space, removing > unused software, ..., and decided to remove MSVC 2010 as no supported > Python uses that compiler.
