How feasible is doing a nightly build?

I know this was asked almost two years ago now, but there never was an answer posted.  :wink:

Just wondering if it would be possible to do a nightly build of lwjgl (or at least, a quick beta build whenever there's a new submission into CVS). I've been so busy developing lately, that I haven't been pestering this board like I should be - so hopefully this is a big enough request to hold me over until the next crazy idea.

problem is that you need 3 different computers (win32, linux, mac) and you need storage.
the first issue is probably solvable. However finding storage is a bit of an issue. We normally use sourceforge, which has a manual interface for releasing files. I am not sure that lwjgl.org has the bandwidth to have nightly builds lying around. There are probably also some security issues wrt. uploading files (access granted per IP, FTP upload insecure etc.)

Ok... I guess I'll just be patient for the next release.  :wink:

I'm just so excited about this project!

What about weekly or monthly builds? The build itself could override the last one. So the wait time till the next release would be much easier and bugs may encountered earlier

+1 from here. Not a daily, but a weekly build.

I'm stuck testing an application on Linux, because the JVM that ships with Knoppix throws an error ...  http://lwjgl.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1533
Yes, building on my own was a solution, if I had more time.

Could s/o please mail me (or upload and link) the current HEAD/TRUNK revision of LWJGL binaries for 3 platforms, please? I need to do some testing on Linux - and the (solved) bug with "System.getenv()" makes the .99 release crash the VM I use ... and I don't have the time to setup the build environments. I'd wish, I'd had the time. Thanks in advance!
