: Nigel ( a hadoop committer) was nice enough to set up hudson to do : nightly builds (along with nutch, lucene, and hadoop). Perhaps we : should start pointing to that? : : http://lucene.zones.apache.org:8080/hudson/job/Solr-Nightly/
i still don't really know enough about Hudson to have an opinion on relying on it for nightly builds, but either way i don't think we should add a link to the nighltys from the site ... Doug's repeated reminders have engrained in me the importance of not making nightly buidls too accessible, they should be for "developers" only and we should do nothing to imply that they are endorsed releases. Lucene-Java does this by only linking to them from a special "Developer Resources" page... http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/developer-resources.html ...i think only linking to them from the wiki is a wise idea. (Personally: I think we shouldn't save the artifacts at all, just test that they build correctly and record the revision number -- people can use "svn checkout -r ####" if they want the "build" for a certain day.) -Hoss
