The problem with Apache CI is that there are a lot of restrictions. Running tests for hours together is not an option. Moreover, since it is a shared environment, the build servers go down a lot and it takes weeks/months to get a broken job fixed.
We need something robust that we can manage ourselves. It does not have to be a hosted VM, it can as well be someone's unused computer somewhere. One could theoretically install Jenkins and set up a job to pull every night and run the tests. I In my case, I don't have any spare computers, so I started toying around with Amazon EC2. If someone can set it up anywhere and let the group know when things break, that would be a good start.
