Continous integration & thesis

[vlion]

One of the things I've tried to do with my Master's work is to set up a continuous integration system on the department server for my Thesis files. The goal is that at any point in time, I can jump over and take a look at my metrics and my current PDF files, based on the state of the repository. The metrics have been a real pain to install, since the server has no real X display.

I think that this week I'll attain full hourly builds of everything. My next CI task is instead of cron, have a post-op trigger.

Then I can plug in some actual platform-independent code compilation and drop messages into my in-box when my code fails to build. Isn't *that* sexy?
