nightly builds

[tonytony]

3C  "nightly" builds are over a month old. Am I looking in the right place???

[tonytony]

now the nightly builds directory is empty.

Perhaps "Nightly Builds" should be renamed "Intermediate Unofficial Releases" that are produced and uploaded when someone feels like it or remembers.

I can see the problem. Alfresco is not the easiest to build completely and someone has to do some sanity checking before publishing, so there is a bit of work involved.

A more cynical observation may be that these releases would contain fixes and improvements that Alfresco would like to be only available (to non developers) in the Enterprise version. I found the 15th Oct 3c build to be very stable and functional for Share compared to 3b release. I was hoping for another update before end November but I guess this is not happening.

Put the tinfoil hats away guys  :wink:  It's a technical issue on the automatic FTP job that's supposed to run on completion of a successful build and unit test run.

We're looking into the problem…

In addition to the broken automatic FTP job…

I apologise but I (and/or one of my collegues) broke the build last night . ops:

I think we only publish builds that pass the automated tests, there's no point releasing broken builds.

Thanks guys…. waiting patiently

[warren_mcdonald]

Thank you for the additional info. Tin hat folded away for later use  ops:

So, once fixed, if we do not see new builds then it is probably due to the builds not passing automated testing.

Looks like its working, updating now.

thanks guys…

hmmmmm…. a new war file  (studio.war)  …. wonder what it could be….. (good thing I went to the NY Roadshow….)

We grabbed the latest nightly build (complete install on Linux), installed it and checked the readme files, they say it is version 3b.  Are we missing something, one of the bugs that is supposed to be fixed (JIRA) isn't in the current build?

Thanks
