[pdf-devel] automated build system idea

[Zac Brown]

Hey all,

I've got a small idea brewing in my head to create some custom build system that 
will run a nightly build on different arch/OS machines to verify we still work 
on them.

Is this something we'd be interested in for sure?

I've got a PPC Mac OS X machine that will probably one of the first that I put 
to the task. The other is a Sun UltraSPARC IIi machine running Debian.

I don't intend for it to be terribly complicated and may even get ambition 
enough to setup a perl/python script that dynamically gets updated as results of 
the build come through and possibly pastes the output of the compile if the 
build fails.

We could probably integrate the test-suite in with this as well, similar to the 
way Wine does at http://test.winehq.org
