[Seaside-dev] Nightly builds ?

Yes, this is definitely something we need. If I remember correctly,
there is also an issue filed on this. Or maybe we just wanted to file
one, but forgot.

And Lint. And the package dependencies are visualized. And a report is
created that contains the diff of source code and test runs. And a
one-click nightly build is produced. etc ;-)

One problem is the server. We don't have one currently, but I guess it
should be possible to find a sponsor for a virtual private server
somewhere. Then also the seaside.st website could be moved there.

The other problem is the manpower. I guess it takes a lot of work to
setup and maintain such a system, because there is nothing like this
publicly available for Smalltalk. Would you be willing to do that?

Cheers,
Lukas
