I would say it depends on the project and the meaning you give to the
word "release". For the Cactus project, a nightly build produces exactly
the same files as a "release" and can be used with a great deal of
confidence. The only difference with a release is that a release has a
goal, i.e. we have voluntarily decided that when such and such features
are put in, then it would warrant a release.
I like to use GUMP for 2 purposes :
* Early detection of contentions with dependent projects,
* Automated builds/integration, leading to a daily "release" (in the
agile way). Users are encouraged to use the nightly builds and not wait
for releases.
It may be different for other projects though but I tend to like this
philosophy ... :-)
