Autobuild

Autobuild is a package that process output from building software, primarily focused on packages using Autoconf and Automake, and then generate a HTML summary file, containing links to each build log. The output include project name, version, build host types (cross compile aware), compiler host name, date of build, and indication of success or failure. The output is indexed in many ways to simplify browsing.

Todo

• The HTML output could be spiced up considerably, preferably by making the output CSS ready, and providing a set of sample CSS. People with knowledge about CSS are encouraged to help.
• More discussion and examples on scripts for using expect etc over telnet/ssh to build programs remotely.
• Discuss how to automate daily building.
