Hi, Mmm, I'm neutral on nightly builds. They can lead to more trouble than it's worth:
- Users using a nightly build of unknown stability instead of an actual release, then asking for support - Extra load on infrastructure - Extra load on Gump people to keep the relevant scripts and Gumpy files up to date And for what? This user was the first request I've seen in a long long time for nightly builds, and he didn't even want the whole build, just the jsp examples webapp containing the XSS fix. So I don't think they're used that much, don't think they add much value. Anyone doing testing, be it individuals or organizations like JBoss, Covalent, Spikesource, whatever, isn't going to test, much less ship, off a nightly build. And if someone really wants a build at any time, it's easy (and documented) to build individually on the client side using our existing build file and its download target. Actually, maybe I'm closer to -1 than 0 on nightly builds ;) Yoav On 1/24/06, Peter Rossbach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > +1 > to have nightly builds! > > Regards > Peter > > > > Am 24.01.2006 um 16:52 schrieb Jeanfrancois Arcand: > > > Hi Yoav, > > > > Yoav Shapira wrote: > >> Hi, > >> A user pointed out to me that our nightly builds appear to be > >> broken.
