[Geoserver-devel] CruiseControl making test releases, nightlies and the like?

Hi all,
since we have CruiseControl doing builds about geoserver (right?),
couldn't we use it to generate nightlies that users waiting
for a fix can use to test the latest and the greatest geoserver?
We could keep a week worth of wars generated in release configuration
for example.

What do you think?

Cheers
Andrea

Sounds like a good idea. I know we have wanted that for a while, but just haven't done it.

Agreed, would be very nice to have. Wouldn't be too much work to achieve
either. It would be easier if it was a one line command to do the
release. Are their any objections to creating a release profile which
would include the release module?

If I get some spare cycles i can look into this. Or if someone with an
account on geo wants to go and hack be my guest.

It would be a great idea to have the same for GeoTools. I think it
would be even more important.

Hum.... yes and no?
No, because we could simply deploy the jars onto maven repositories
as snapshots, something that's already happening for the 2.2.x branch
if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, because although we recommend to use maven, not everybody using
geotools may be using maven as well, so having a full tar.gz with everything inside would be beneficial, in fact (but would require a ton
of space as well).

Opinions?
Cheers
