Nightly Builds

[Kris Kowal]

Hey, we have a nightly build system now. Every evening at 2:38, the
nightly build script copies the source tree over to a "build"
directory, runs the YUI compressor on all the JavaScript files, builds
the Flash movies, gzips all of the files, and builds tar.gz and zip
archives named after the svn repository version number.

Build archives:
http://modulesjs.com/nightly/

Most recent build:
http://modulesjs.com/nightly/build

You can run the "litmus" test on the build to verify vaguely whether
the build works:
http://modulesjs.com/nightly/build/run.html?test/litmus.js

The build script:
http://modulesjs.com/nightly/bin/build

The log from the most recent build:
http://modulesjs.com/nightly/nightly.log

I'm working on a script to run a comparison between YUI Compressor and
Packer, but my preliminary work shows that YUI Compressor gets base.js
down from 100KB source, to 30KB trimed, down to 8KB gziped. Packer
takes it down to 40KB and 9KB respectively. I'm also working on
getting the automated test client/server app up again.
