Woohoo! :-) For those who haven't been watching, the nightly builds that were > happening on my machine began failing during the 'svn up' portion of > the script.

The url might look like this: > http://struts.zones.apache.org/~nightly/ As Craig mentioned, the zones are, in theory, still subject to disappearing in a puff of bits, so I'd prefer to see the nightlies pushed to minotaur so that they're still around if that does ever happen. I think we should have a 'build' account on the zone that does the actual building; I don't have any good ideas on the key to use to push them over when they're done. That said, with Justin and Leo both stepping back from infra@, and several others being, uh, less prominent than they used to be, it's not clear that much of anything is going to happen on the zones machine in the near future that would disrupt us. If we do distribute from the zone itself, it would be nice to have a URL more like: http://struts.zones.apache.org/builds/nightly rather than actually exposing an account name in the URL. ;-) -- Martin Cooper Somewhat related - Craig, if you are interested, I'd be happy to help > you move your nightly Ant builds to the new zone. > > > > -- > James Mitchell > Software Engineer / Open Source Evangelist > Consulting / Mentoring / Freelance > EdgeTech, Inc. > http://www.edgetechservices.net/ > 678.910.8017 > AIM: jmitchtx > Yahoo: jmitchtx > MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Skype: callto://jmitchtx > > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
