I've shut down the build farm as nobody seems to care. Fixing this would require somebody motivated to maintain the infrastructure required to do this, otherwise we're buried in bogus test and build results.

I'm handing off assignment here as I belive Rob is changing
the way the snapshot are created/uploaded.

The build farm used to build the snapshots had problems, and needed major maintenance, most of which I've done very recently. Keeping the hardware and software used to build the source snapshots is time consuming, want to help ?

As a note, better than just source snapshots, I've been recently building rpm and deb files, and uploading them to getgnash.org. Most people prefer binary packages, not source, when it comes to flash players.

I confirm the snapshots are not generated anymore.
They were deliberately shut off due to a changed system
configuration on the host producing them.

I agree it should be turned on again.
Is just hard to find the time to do things while
struggling to get bills payed.

Have you considered donating time or money to
the project yet ?

Face it, it turns people away from the project. Or maybe you are so exclusive that you don't want anything from the rest of the world.

Sorry, it happens when the team is a group of anarchists.
You do can build source snapshots yourself too btw :)

I have mentioned the fact that source snapshots have never been generated properly numerous numerous times in the IRC channel and the developers have more or less acknowledged this and yet nothing has changed. The last snapshot is from 3 weeks ago. That is not useful to anyone. I should not have to prod this much to get such a simple thing fixed.
