Question

I have a task to check compilation of code from one of our branches, lets call it “stable”. Our team mainly working in “HEAD” branch and sometimes making some merges to “stable” branch. I’ve made a local copy of our main workspace and named it “main-workspace-stable” and replaced all of the code by code from “stable” branch. Now at the end of every work day I open that workspace, update the code to the most recent and wait for the compilation result.
This is pretty boring. Is there any ways to automate that task?

You might want to look at one of the Continuous Integration tools, for example Cruise Control or Hudson.
