Archived on 11 May 2026. Kept for reference only: it is no longer maintained and may not build. Look under Related for current alternatives.
Purpose#
A cron job on a build server that pulled the main branch, ran the build script and emailed a log. It worked for a small team but offered no history, no caching and no way to rerun a failed night. Kept only for reference; new work should follow the GitHub Actions example.
