Daily Build System

The `dbs' package implements an open framework for daily-builds (i.e. regular performed builds to continuously verify the consistence of all parts of a software system). The dbs package is based on AutoBuild and performs the builds for all software package that you put under control of dbs. Furthermore, it generates web pages with summaries of the build processes. The package supports software construction on multiple architectures.

As an example of an operational daily-build system you might want to take a look at:

• http://www.cwi.nl/~daybuild (the dailybuild system at the CWI)
• http://force.st-lab.cs.uu.nl (the dailybuild system at Utrecht University)

Getting the software

The dbs package is open source and distributed as a gzipped tar file named `dbs-<version>.tar.gz', where <version> denotes the version of the package. You can download the package at:

• http://www.cs.uu.nl/~mdejonge/downloads/dbs-0.3.tar.gz
