Dear friends,
We have a small build farm for pgAdmin covering Win32, FreeBSD and most GNU/
Linux systems. See http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin3/download.php#snapshots
The advantage are immediate feedback and correction of problems. Also, in a
release cycle, developers and translators are quite motivated to see their
work published fast.
Of course, it is always hard to "mesure" the real impact of a build farm. My
opinion it that it is quite positive, as it helps tighten the links between
people, which is free software is mostly about.
Cheers,
Jean-Michel Pouré
