Update manager for nightly builds?
« on: April 20, 2008, 10:37:25 pm »
Hi!

I was wondering if there is some program that can help you with downloading and installing the nightly builds, check for new nightly builds, etc. Kind of like an online installer at the same time. Is there?

Use svn and a little shell/batchscript.
First let svn print a log of changed things. Then "svn update". Then wait for key. Then "make".
This way you can decide whether the changes are worth to compile and also you won't have much traffic.
Fast and easy :D

What is svn? Can I use it to check updates over the internet?
