That's probably the detail we have to clear - either to rely on such "download revision" web thing, or say we do literally a "svn checkout" or "git clone" every time. Former is easier of course, good if it were available everywhere.

Just to use the RSS to export the entries to build. Say if user would click "build a snap", a new RSS entry were added to the feed. Or for example, as Johannes suggested - on a commit there could be a commit hook triggering an RSS entry export (IMHO were great for continuous integration). Then the build host can pick it up and handle. This is the way how it works currently with the releases, so the functionality in rmtools can be adapted which would spare time. That's effectively a cronjob to run. Also that's fine with security - PeCL exports just the necessary info in the feed (even as a plain xml file), like ext:repo:revision:branch ... then the build host reads it and does the build. After the build snap is uploaded and leads are mailed. Clear, that RSS would be visible to the outta world, but that's actualy no issue. The RSS feed should be just rotated to pop the older entries. As well, the snapshot builds would be put to http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/snaps/ and visible to the outta world. What we would need later probably to configure through an UI to config that finer, say for example there are exts incompatible with windows, or users who don't care or whatever, so they should explicitly activate snaps in their pecl accounts. >> I don't know the pECL infrastructure well actually, maybe one who knows >> it cann suggest something better.

Though it'll need some effort to setup and to get some tools and co. No big docs on that as usual as nobody was interested to work on that till now :) Regards Anatol -- PECL development discussion Mailing List (http://pecl.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
