It sort of already exists. The dist directory contains several net-snmp-build
(nsb-*) scripts that I hacked together.
Great, I haven't been aware of those. I'll give them a try and will come
back with my feedback (and patches if needed).
Usually, when we get close to release
time, I turn on nightly builds on the SourceForge compile farms. I can give you
the cron scripts with the options I use, if you'd like to try it.
I build the 3 most recent branches on Linux x86 nightly, though I've recently
been too busy to pay attention to the results. What I probably need to add is
something to mail the coders list when it fails.
Most certainly, because that's the whole point of automating it.
Also, if volunteers with permanent access to non-Linux hosts (Bruce, me,
who else?) could automate nightly builds/tests on those platforms as
well, this'd IMHO help portability a lot.
Further down the road, we could also offer nightly snapshots (source or
binary or both) for those who find CVS access (source) and manual
compilation/packaging (binary) too difficult/impossible, but still (we)
want (them) to verify whether the latest code fixes a problem they
encounter. Anyone else who'd find this useful?
