So is most of this scripted, or is there just a process in your head? > The steps that are difficult to automate are: > - code signing > - testing the resulting installer > - uploading Why are those steps difficult to automate? I'd think that uploading is just some ftp commands. Signing might be a thing because you don't want the keys distributed. Testing the resulting installer could probably be automated in part, and people could still download the nightlies to do more testing. > However, in a significant number of releases, some of the build steps > failed, so it requires some investigation to find the source of the > problem. Well, sure, but if we do continuous builds we find failures like that sooner.
