Would it take longer than, um... a night? > So while most apps only need a single build for one or two platforms, LC needs to run multiple steps across a much larger number of platforms. I am a huge fan of automation. I own a robotic lawnmower. The robot takes 2 to 3 hours to cut my lawn, which I used to cut manually using a push mower. I don't care how much longer the robot "works" in the summer heat because I stay inside. > This multiplies the time so much that I would imagine it would take many hours to build a release, making it impractical to run daily. If it's automated, you don't run it. It just runs. If it fails, so what! It provides a bleeding edge version for those who can handle some risk. > > -- > Richard Gaskin > Fourth World Systems > Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web > ____________________________________________________________________ > ambassa...@fourthworld.com http://www.FourthWorld.com ~Roger _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
