Has anyone considered setting up a nightly build system? This could easily be maintained by one of the main WebKit devs or anyone else reliable for that matter. It would take the CVS code from that day, build it, and put it up on the server so anyone in the dev community could download and test. This would allow for a much greater testing and QA community. You would no longer have to be a building whiz to pitch in and help test and file. Also, for anyone who uses Firefix or Caminknight, the maker of these two programs has one ready for the day Safari does nightly builds. We just need the URL. This program could, when installed, automatically fetch the latest nightly build and install it on a tester's machine. Anyone wiling to help implement and maintain nightly builds (not me, I'm far from knowledgeful enough to). Thanks.

I've just thrown together a script to build + upload WebKit. With the wonders of launchd, it should execute daily at 1600 NZST (0400 UTC). It uploads a disk image containing the built frameworks + a stub application to <http://bdash.net.nz/files/webkit/nightly/Latest- WebKit-CVS.dmg>. Previous versions will be available in the <http:// bdash.net.nz/files/webkit/nightly/> directory. Hope this helps, Mark Rowe <http://bdash.net.nz/>

Just to be clear, these builds will only run on OS X 10.4. Regards, Mark Rowe <http://bdash.net.nz/>
Curious as to why they will only run on 10.4? Doesn't webkit target 10.3? -eric On Jun 30, 2005, at 7:16 PM, Mark Rowe wrote:

The biggest reason is that I've not had a chance to test it on 10.3 :-) I've also heard some talk that a new version of libWebKitSystemInterface.a would be required for the latest CVS source to work on 10.3. If I'm wrong about that point, the frameworks may work on 10.3 but the stub launcher that is included definitely won't as I didn't bother to build it for 10.3.

libWebKitSystemInterface.a is highly system-dependent and will not work on anything earlier than 10.4. We are actually planning on converting the projects to Xcode 2.1 soon, which is good news for you Xcode 2.1 users, but bad news for those of you on Panther, because we'll probably have to give up on making the code buildable on Panther.
