Fellow Report - November 7, 2014

[Tim Graham]

Sorry for the delayed report. I am traveling in Warsaw, Krakow, and Amsterdam until next week and my work on Django will be limited.

Report for week ending November 7, 2014:

In addition to the work below, I added a machine to our CI cluster running Ubuntu 14.04 which contains newer databases and versions of GIS dependencies. Currently there is one build which uses it: "django-master-trusty". Considering Marc Tamlyn's contrib.postgres work requires a newer version of Postgres than what's bundled with 12.04, I'll likely switch a few Jenkins slaves over to 14.04 so those machines become standard for newer versions of Django and the pull request builder.

Following up on the possible Python change that could break future versions of Django [1], it looks like it will only be fixed in Python 3.5, so we won't need to backport a fix to all supported versions of Django. In testing the proposed patch for Python, I created a ticket [3] and remedied one issue when running Django's test suite with cpython's default branch (3.5 pre-alpha).
