and Oct 13 daily builds.
Like.

Every few months
we get a message like this to the mailing list. It's
usually one of
the smaller antivirus packages reporting a virus. So
far they have all
been false positives. My guess is there are actual
viruses out there
using Python libraries, and not realizing they're
looking at
popular open source software, the antivirus company
flags
it.
Yep, and just to further explain how these builds are
created for those
that are interested (and/or are wondering how we
attempt to protect our
users who trust our builds):
Every night, when a change is pending, the build
server literally builds
an entirely new Windows 7 virtual machine with
known-good copies of all
of our base dependencies. It then creates the new
chirp build on that
machine and uploads it to the chirp website. When it's
done, it
*destroys* the temporary machine it created. The next
day, the whole
thing starts from scratch.
The process takes about 10 minutes total and occurs on
an almost
completely sealed private network. There's really no
opportunity for
anything to get on the build machine and disrupt the
process, and it
certainly wouldn't change day-to-day, build-to-build.
