It is debatable wether one would deem Gump builds "nightly builds" in the
simple sense of them, they are more like "nightly integration tests", i.e.
does a cross compile/test work. Yes, jars are produced,  but because it uses
the very latest (as of a certain instant) set of jars, I doubt many folks
would want to test/trust them.

[I could imagine a "nightly build of X" being the latest X plus the latest
*release or chosen build* of all it's dependencies, purely so the X
community could test out their work. Gump doesn't support that latter
choice.]

The above all said, there is a discussion ongoing upon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
that might prove fruitful. Gump is generating a repository of jars (when
allowed ,e.g. http://gump.dotnot.org/repository/) and tools ought be able to
download from there.

Actually, I am about to start work on Gump downloading whole trees from
other Gumps, but I digress.

In short, based upon my comments above, you still think that folks would
want nightly build from Gump?
