Hi all,
Instead of using the release profile with the hudson build I added an extension which contains all extensions, called "allExtensions". The rationale being that the build is failing because its looking for the release configuration which is not there, instead of minimal which it usually builds with.
I figure its probably best if not all the release stuff is build anyways when doing a regular build... it will slow the build down significantly.
And our build is back and happy once again
