No buildbot to test wide unicode?

Hello,

It seems that there is no buildbot to test a wide unicode build.

On http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/3.x/ all outputs of the "configure"
steps show this message::
checking what type to use for str... unsigned short
which looks like a ucs2 build to me.

Since wide unicode is the standard chosen by some Linux distributions,
it would make sense to have at least one buildbot running with
--with-wide-unicode (3.x) or --enable-unicode=ucs4 (2.x).

Can you propose some (one? two? more?) systems that might be best as
candidates? I'd then setup two (sets of) builders; they would share
the slave lock, so builds would run sequentially (unless the slave
operator agrees to setup two slaves on one machine).

Regards,
Martin

I would certainly agree to setup two slaves on mine. There are ample
resources available.

I could do so as well. Gentoo is one of the distributions that uses
the wide build by default, so that would make it a good test candidate
as well.

I have now setup two slaves, murray-gentoo-wide and pitrou-ubuntu-wide,
same passwords. They configure with the option "--with-wide-unicode"
(if I did that correctly).

I think this means that the 2.x branches will have to grow this option
also (although configure should ignore the option, so it should still
build).

Martin
