Description (last modified by )
Get nightly snapshot builds set up again - essentially, take the current SVN snapshots and "bless" them if they "look good" according to the tinderbox. The problem is that we can't easily tie a row of green lights in tinderbox to a particular snapshot - switching to buildbot will help this I believe.

Snapshots are now tagged with the SVN revision number.

We now have buildbot running automatic builds of the tarballs. It would be relatively easy to get buildbot to copy the tarballs to a "blessed" place if the build passes: but perhaps we should wait until the whole xapian site is living on atreus first.

The snapshots now have to pass "make distcheck" on x86-64 Linux before being made available, so checking tinderbox/buildbot results would only help avoid portability bugs.

On further reflection, I feel that passing "make distcheck" on one platform is probably good enough. If people aren't comfortable with the possibility of portability issues, then I don't think they'll be comfortable with SVN snapshots anyway. Also, we have more regular release schedule now than we did when this idea first came up, and will have development releases from a 1.1 branch fairly soon.
So I'm going to just close this bug.

Switching to SVN and tagging snapshot versions with the SVN revision should make this much easier.
