wierd behaviour from sagepad.org patchbot

[Hugh Thomas]

Hi!

The sagepad.org patchbot

Fedora/17/x86_64/3.4.6-2.fc17.x86_64/sagepad.org

seems to be depressed.  It is unhappy with two unrelated tickets I'm involved in (12943, which is trivial, and also 10527, which is more complicated), but if you go to its result page (linked above), you see that it is unhappy with everything. 

It is hitting doctest failures in sagedoc.py.  The first of these is when the file which it tries to open at line 22 doesn't exist.  The doctest at line 22 is trying to look at the built documentation to see that it looks right.  But so far as I can see from the log, the patchbot doesn't even try to build the documentation; if that is so, it isn't surprising that the doctest which tries to examine the documentation fails. 

Maybe the patchbot needs to be rebooted or something?  Or is something more complicated going on?  I am not wise in the ways of the patchbot, but perhaps someone who is can offer a suggestion.  Thanks!

cheers,

Hugh

I ran that patchbot. It lacked something to build documentation, so while Sage installs fine it can't build docs which makes the patchbot very unhappy. Yes the patchbot asks whether it should really run (y/n) since it can't build docs but if you foolishly press "yes" you only get test failures.
