From 0baf3bb6f0db88d07838360b7955751498c65664 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fred Wright Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2016 16:29:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Adds comment to regress-builder about its current brokenness. This is the last remaining included Python program that isn't compatible with Python 3, and it doesn't make sense to fix that unless someone is motivated to fix its general outdatedness.
