New submission from Eric Snow <ericsnowcurren...@gmail.com>:
Currently we don't test builds done outside the source tree, neither on GitHub nor the buildbots. [1] As a result, such builds get broken occasionally. I've certainly broken then a couple times, inadvertently. It would be helpful if we tested out-of-tree builds on GitHub, or at least on a stable buildbot. FTR, to do an out-of-tree build locally and test it: mkdir ../build cd ../build ../cpython/configure make ./python -m test [1] Actually I recently added test.test_tools.test_freeze.TestFreeze.test_freeze_simple_script which happens to do an out-of-tree build incidentally. However, we should be testing out-of-tree builds explicitly. ---------- components: Build messages: 405568 nosy: christian.heimes, eric.snow, gregory.p.smith, gvanrossum, steve.dower priority: normal severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: Out-of-tree builds are not tested. versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45695> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
