[Mono-devel-list] Automated builds

[Jaroslaw Kowalski]

Ok. I've put the files that make up my mono tinderbox at

http://jaak.sav.net/tinderbox.tar.gz

I have a user "mono" that owns /home/mono and /opt/mono.

/opt/mono - contains the installed mono
/home/mono/mono-working.tar.gz - contains a copy of /opt/mono that's known
to be working and able to recompile itself
/home/mono/src/ - contains mono,mcs,xsp,mod_mono modules fetched from CVS

/home/mono/bin/cvsclean.pl - a script that cleans the CVS (found somewhere
through google) - included
/home/mono/tinderbox/tinderbox.sh - an automated script (a modified version
of mcs/tools/tinderbox/tinderbox.sh) that calls the build process and
reports via e-mail - included
/home/mono/Makefile - a master makefile that directs the build process -
included

Note that tinderbox.sh uses "sendsmtp" utility that's not included (it uses
hardcoded IP addresses and such so I've decided not to relase it).

WARNING: /opt/mono gets deleted and recreated at each startup, so make sure
you have a copy.
