[Bioperl-l] anonymous cvs?

[Chris Fields]

Okay, I have set up nightly builds for bioperl-live, db, network, and  
run here:

http://www.bioperl.org/DIST/nightly_builds/
ftp://ftp.open-bio.org/pub/bioperl/DIST/nightly_builds

At the moment this is running via a crontab off a script in my portal  
account, retrieving everything via anon. svn and bundling it up into  
zip and tarball archives.  I would like to set it up to grab  
everything off dev but I don't want to mess with my ssh setup, so if  
anyone has ideas there...

The script also adds a CHANGELOG file (last 10 commits) and removes  
the .svn directories prior to bundling.  The archive name has the  
subversion revision number and date included; md5 checksums are in the  
SIGNATURES file.  I'll check on it again tomorrow to make sure cron  
ran it.

We can probably set up automated PPM builds as well; might be worth  
testing down the road (we need a way to set defaults for Build args  
prior to getting that running).
