I've had automated daily builds from trunk for Ubuntu set up for several months, running them on my personal server: https://launchpad.net/~spamassassin/+archive/spamassassin-daily Works great. It's nice and simple and clean, the only changes to the source synced from trunk are to add a directory containing rules to satisfy the Debian build setup (copied from Debian's packages).
Yesterday I created two more Personal Package Arcives: https://launchpad.net/~spamassassin/+archive/spamassassin-test https://launchpad.net/~spamassassin/+archive/spamassassin-monthly My plan is to: 1) Copy the latest builds from -daily to -test. (There are web links to do this easily.) 2) Run that on my server for a month, and if there are no problems: 2) Copy the tested builds from -test to -monthly, then copy the latest from -daily to -test again. I did the first copy from -daily to -test yesterday, so the first build in -monthly will be ready in about a month. I figure with several people on this list running trunk, and me reading it to see if any interesting problems pop up, as well as running it myself, I should be able to keep up reliable monthly releases with approximately no work. I thought this would be a good time to see if you folks had any input before mentioning it to @users. And I would, of course, appreciate it if anybody else wanted to run -test to help with the testing - maybe people already running trunk. -- "Wash daily from nose-tip to tail-tip; drink deeply, but never too deep; And remember the night is for hunting, and forget not the day is for sleep." - The Law of the Jungle, Rudyard Kipling http://www.ChaosReigns.com
