Nightly builds on Gump

[Sebastian Bazley <se...@apache.org>]

Just been looking at http://wiki.apache.org/gump/BrutusConfig/NightlyBuild.

It looks like a good solution for handling nightly builds.

AFAICS, the only variable parts of the builds are the svn/cvs fetch from
whatever the default repository has been set to, so it looks as though the
only backdoor is either hacking into the nightlybuild account - or updating
the project repository itself, which should be detected by the commit
message to the developer list.

Archives such as http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/ display a header
message describing the contents. Perhaps it would be a good idea to do
something similar for the nightly output directories, e.g. some kind of
disclaimer, with links to the official download pages?

It would be useful if the cvs/svn branch could be specified, perhaps as a
suffix to the repo parameter, e.g. cvs:rel-2_0, with default of HEAD.

S.
P.S.
There seems to be a cut-n-paste error in the licence search part of the
script.
AFAICS, if there are any build artifacts, these will be taken as the license
to publish the build artifacts ...
Presumably this is fixed in the actual code, as the licence files do appear
in the output.
