buildbots for PyLucene?
I've once again spent an hour building PyLucene, which gives me some
sympathy for issue 10:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PYLUCENE-10
I was thinking about how to address this...
One thing I've found useful at PARC is to set up buildbot tests for
hard-to-package systems. Basically, the test just waits for changes to
the SCM repository, checks out the code, and tries to build. A nice
side-effect is that, when successful, it produces a binary for the build
slave's platform.
I'm unsure whether this would work for PyLucene. The ASF build slaves
seem pretty coarse-grained. I see that there is an "osx-slave", but
there's no information about it (10.5? 10.6? 10.7?), no contact, and it's
down.
A possibility would be to use the Python buildbots, but of course there's
no assurance that Java is installed on any of them.

I sent a note off to Trent Nelson to see if we could use Snakebite for
this purpose.
I'd be happy to set up a buildbot on our internal PARC Jenkins
infrastructure for this, but the results wouldn't be visible outside.
Is there a lucene-infrastructure or apache-infrastructure mailing list
this might be appropriate for?

Given the bizarre netbsd(?) jail the Lucene Java bot is setup in, I can't imagine a multi OS x multi Java x multi Python build bot to materialize anytime soon.
That being said, I really don't know what is and isn't available as infrastructure from the ASF for these kinds of things so I might be completely wrong here.

Because this is something the ASF should really address. I'm happy to
volunteer to set up a PyLucene build test on an ASF buildbot -- maybe
more than one if it's easy to clone.
Just looked at snakebite.org -- no OS X buildbots there, either.

I know nothing about the Apache buildbots. Why not contribute buildbots for PyLucene at PARC ?
