I am.

However, since the error message is usually buried in thousands of lines of make commands and debug output, I usually don't bother to even try to find the error message. > If somebody breaks git master, I don't want anybody to find out > because their build failed.

Sure, I understand this - and I certainly like it. I just wanted to point out that I'm already doing automated nightly builds, although detecting build failures is not the main purpose, but rather a byproduct. > This script is also the first step towards an automatic > dev/staging branch, but I want the basics tested before I move > ahead to work on that stuff. I haven't looked at it, but Jenkins (http://jenkins-ci.org/) is about continuous integration (i.e. automated builds to detect build failures or regtest failures). It might be overkill for us, but still, there are solutions for exactly this task.
