Hi,
I wanted to announce that since a few days we have a nightly build service for IPFire 2 again.
This has been built to solve two things:
* First of all we now always have a fresh build. Please use that for testing. Just download it and go. And please do not forget to report any bugs you find.
* We will now know if the distribution builds on all architectures. Many people do not have build hardware for all architectures, but some have devices they can use for testing.
The builds are available here: http://nightly.ipfire.org/
Every night at 3:00 AM CET the build server will check if the next branch has any new changes and if so start a build job. A couple of hours later it will upload the build so that everyone has a fresh one early in the morning. ARM builds will take usually longer than 24 days though.
Builds will automatically be removed after 7 days. The latest build will always be kept.
This is basically just two scripts doing the job. Nothing too exciting, but we think it will be very helpful. If you have any ideas on how to extend this service let me know. Also any other feedback is appreciated.
Best, -Michael
Michael,
This is the new version you guys have been working on? Is it stable enough I can use it at my office so long as I have a backup router available :). I've been running beta stuff whenever it comes out, but have not started using the v2 stuff, if that is the new thing you guys have been working on.

Hi Rod,
this is still the version of IPFire you know. It is just the next Core Update with not too many changes.
IPFire 3 is currently not in there. We may publish some more details about that after the IPFire Developer Summit in October.
