That's good news! I'm very glad to hear that this is not a bug in darcs! (particularly given that that particular test stresses the darcs-2 conflict handling...) And yes, I imagine it is a problem with the buildbot infrastructure, but have little idea how to debug this. All I can think is to push a patch changing the tests to be very verbose by default, and see where it is hanging. Or perhaps you could run the buildbot daemon under strace (if that exists on the mac?), and we could track what's going on that way. -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list darcs-devel@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
