I may be off-topic, but to manage these automatic builds, Gustavo suggested a script+crontab. Maybe we could also take advantage of a better solution that does the stuff for us and give back statistics.
One of these tools is called buildbot (http://buildbot.net/trac) and it seems to do a good work. Can the devs have a look at it and see whether it would be worth using it ? As a user, I would be glad to consult a report page about all the nightly builds. This helps avoiding regression as well IMO. thanks for the effort Gustavo ! regards, Lionel On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 8:34 AM, Luca De Marini <luca.darkmas...@gmail.com> wrote: > I just wanted to understand a pair of things... > 1) is this something official or just your idea Gustavo?
