The process is:

launch agent with the project context (agent is a simple standalone
to start
when needed, it isn't a service)
stop ssh session
With this mechanism, we get in real time the output of the agent
instead of
to get the build result at the end. It's important to can to follow
the
build output during the build so the build result page is updated
automatically.
I think maybe this is a good alternative to add in the future, but
probably not the only way. It might have some drawbacks, like:
* long builds and flaky connections would lose the build if the
connection drops
* a nuisance to run on Windows :)
I think maybe the most robust for the future is JMS like David B had
in place earlier, since you can use the built in features to make sure
build results never get lost, and can probably handle some servers
going down.
But I also like XMLRPC because it already exists so is a good starting
point - we can get something working and then improve later by
slimming down the builder and improving the communication medium.
WDYT?

Brett
