Hi all !
It's sad a little that there's no dmd's nightly builds.
Maybe we can introduce them ? It would be great to have an 
ability to download latest dmd.

What would be really nice is to pair up the auto tester to auto generate 
installation binaries/archives.

That way the daily build would only be the last one made each day. 
Simple and effective :)

But who would be willing to make that happen.. hmm?

If we're going to use the autotester, why not just upload a new 
one after every ~master build? What advantage is there to 
limiting it to only one per day?

I didn't say limit it. Only advertise the one per day one.
So e.g. there would still be a link to them from the auto tester.
But not a directory of them from e.g. dlang.org.

I guess I don't get why anyone would be interested in having last 
night's build instead of the latest build.

If the latest build is broken for you, but you want to use a 
cutting edge version.

Sure. Best solution might be have links to nightlies as well as 
the latest

digger can build any dmd version by commit id. It can even store 
the resulting binaries in a space-efficient format using git, see

This doesn't seem that hard. We are ALREADY building and testing the 
system after every pull request is merged on the auto tester.

Can't the auto tester just zip up the built directory and provide a 
download of it on request?

What about windows then?

The auto testing framework is only Linux I believe.

So we'd have nightly builds, but only on nix. (Which I'm ok with!)

And FreeBSD. It's constantly building on all of the platforms 
that dmd supports. I expect that we'd have a lot more problems 
leaking through into releases if it weren't. The auto tester 
(including the pull tester) has been a huge help, and the work 
that's been done on that (primarily by Brad and Daniel, I 
believe) is hugely appreciated.
