I like automatic build systems which, if .. * a commit fails to build for any platform, * the prior build passed for every platform, * only one commit happened in that time, * the word "CRITICAL" is nowhere in the change description, ... automatically rolls back ... and tells someone. As a bonus, if it fails at the third bullet, it can automatically submit builds for all the intervening releases in an attempt to make the bullet pass. As another bonus, after the rollback, the fifth bullet looks back at the first bullet to see whether it failed to build for every platform and, if so, it would be nice for someone to be notified. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Centralized Desktop Delivery: Dell and VMware Reference Architecture Simplifying enterprise desktop deployment and management using Dell EqualLogic storage and VMware View: A highly scalable, end-to-end client virtualization framework.
