The soure tarballs obviously contain the results of a successful `make dist` (that's how they are produced), which requires a successful `./bootstrap ; configure ; make` from the CVS source base. Note that "successful" refers to compilation, only; successfull testing is not require for (succesfully) building the source tarballs. For the latest nightly testing results see our "TestWeb" at http://monetdb.cwi.nl/projects/monetdb/Development/TestWeb/ For the "Current" development trunk (CVS HEAD), `cvs update` is (currently) run every night at just after midnight (CEST), while for the "Stable" release branch(es), `cvs update` is run around 5:00 am CEST. Note that with SF, running `cvs update` does not guarantee that it indeed succeeds... However, for the most recent 30-31 days, the respetive CVS versions used for nightly testing and building both source tar balls and binary distributions (RPMs) (see http://monetdb.cwi.nl/projects/monetdb/Download/Builds/) are tagged in CVS as "Stable_DailyBuild-<DayOfMonth>" and "Current_DailyBuild-<DayOfMonth>", respectively. > > Is a cross-reference between bug number and > > --nightly=<target> maintained? No: - users reporting bugs often (mostly) do (can?) not accurately specify which *excat* version they are using when they detected and files a bug. - developers (should) know the excat version the fix a bug on, but the bug fix is only confirmed once (1) a respective test has been provided AND (2) the next nights testing was successful AND (3) the user reporting the bug has confirmed the fix --- by then, we're usually some days further... > No. Unfortunately, we don't have a ChangeLog file either which allows > for easy inspection of inclusion of a bug. CVS maintains the ChangeLog for us; see `cvs log`.
