I'm not monitoring the @infra list right now. Are the infra messages available in an archive?
Not that I'm aware of.

Martin (Cooper),
Have we made any progress on finding a build machine?
As I mentioned before, this is likely to be resolved shortly after the upcoming infra-thon. That's happening this coming weekend, and should result in a number of new VMs (VMWare running Linux or FreeBSD - not sure which) and Zones (Solaris 10). We have the choice of a VM or a Zone for nightlies. I have a slight preference for the latter, since it means that the infra@ folks will handle upgrades and other maintenance, which we'd have to do ourselves with a VM.

As we approach release time I think it would be good for us to have nightlies. The Gump folks were unresponsive to my inquiries into using their machine.
I'm going to suggest that we use Martin C's server to perform the nightly builds in the meantime. This way we can test the release script, etc. and everyone can be working off the same nightly build when testing before release time.
My proposal is to host the bootstrap.xml build on Martin's server. (I know this is not an ASF machine but we use his server for other things already.) We can push the nightlies up to CVS using scp (same as how Struts does it). We can then alert the infra people and have them tweak their chron job (if necessary) that removes the files older than five days.
Martin M., can you test the latest bootstrap.xml I sent to the list a few days ago? I just want to make sure that it works on another machine.
