Commit 3d2141bcee("support/testing/run-tests: specify multiprocessing
method") added a call to multiprocessing.set_start_method('fork') as a
workaround for python 3.14, which changed the default start method to
forkserver - Which is incompatible with the nose2 setup.
multiprocessing.set_start_method() is only supposed to be called a maximum
of 1 time per process and throws a RuntimeError if called more than that
(even with the same arguments):
>>> import multiprocessing
>>> multiprocessing.set_start_method('fork')
>>> multiprocessing.set_start_method('fork')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<python-input-2>", line 1, in <module>
multiprocessing.set_start_method('fork')
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^
File "/usr/lib/python3.13/multiprocessing/context.py", line 247, in set_start_method
raise RuntimeError('context has already been set')
Debian included a similar patch in python3-nose2 0.51.1-2 (currently in
testing/unstable) which adds its own call to set_start_method():
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/nose2/-/blob/debian/0.15.1-2/debian/patches/0004-plugins-mp-set-context-to-fork-for-Python-3.14-mp-AP.patch?ref_type=tags
Which comes from:
https://github.com/nose-devs/nose2/pull/644
As discussed in the upstream PR, this is not a correct fix is wrong and
breaks various use cases. An issue has been opened to get this fixed in the
Debian packaging at:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1129350
But until that is done, rework the patch to:
- Only override set_start_method() if needed to limit impact
- Monkey patch set_start_method() so additional calls are ignored
To unbreak run-test on affected Debian systems and add some documentation to
make it clear why this is done.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at https://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
