Jenkins offers in my opinion much, much more. I have been using my own custom Jenkins installation for at least half a year now and that allows me to easily build KWin with various compile flags, etc. etc. Also the community around Jenkins is very active and there are lots of plugins available to improve the testing (e.g. cppcheck which got recently added to our build.kde.org instance) > > Andreas > > PS: Personally I find the Web-GUI also a bit nicer, but thats really just a > personal preference. +1
