• gh-75905: Remove test_xmlrpc_net: skipped since 2017 #105796

[zware]

With the upgrade to buildbot 0.9, the xmlrpc interface to buildbot.python.org is removed, causing test_xmlrpc to fail. The test should hit a different host, possibly on pythontest.net?

New changeset 73ffd3f by Zachary Ware in branch 'master':
bpo-31724: Skip test_xmlrpc_net (GH-3921)
73ffd3f

[zware]

This is currently mitigated by some nasty hacks on the buildbot.python.org server to avoid breaking tests on every released version of Python 3, but this still needs to change. The test is skipped in master and (soon) 3.6 to minimize the damage when the hacks on buildbot.p.o break.

The test is now skipped, but still need to be fixed.

I proposed PR #105796 to remove the test, so no volunteer proposed a change in 6 years to use a different public XML-RPC server. The local test_xmlrpc test is enough.
