* The code in svn should always build. During the development of 1.0

cases the developer may have done a build and it was successful, but
when they committed the changes, they accidentally left out a file
from the commit. There were a number of times where people broke the
build in their last checkin when they were blurry-eyed and just about
to head off to sleep. Developers in other timezones then wasted time
either debugging the problem, or waiting for the developer who checked
in the change to wake up or trying to find a revision that does build.

This seems like a fairly fixable thing, right? Some kind of Continuous
Integration for the project... Cruise Control or whatever? I noticed
these JIRA's awhile back...
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-301
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-302
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-303
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-304
I don't know the details, but it seems like I've seen communication
either here or on the IRC about some kind of CI stuff... thinking
Blevins has worked on that stuff if I remember right. If that's true,
it's unclear to me what is currently happening in terms of CI
(anything?), and what yet needs to happen.
So, could anyone here in the know please clarify that?
Also, once I understand a bit better about what needs to be done yet, I
would be glad to help get it going.
Thanks,
Bryan
