Ah. Okay, looks good.

In the most aggressive continuous integration systems I've seen, incremental builds are queue to a computing cloud on every commit to a development tip. Obviously, this is beyond our resources (although Amazon lets you dynamically boot Linux images on in its cloud for a small fee). But in most cases an automatic build cycle of 6-24 hours suffices. When you want to cut an external build you can then select the label for any periodic build (usually the most recent), smoke and bless.

I have not received a single automatic message from the build system in over a year. So I assume there must be something amiss there. Can you recommend a good free RSS reader that works through HTTP proxies? The last time I looked there was nothing that didn't cost money.
