The way how it is, it causes a waste of their time. > That's why I keep suggesting devel/aegis it does *EVERYTHING* git/git hub does but all locally and has the added benefit that you can not change the change set (aka port submission) until it has passed all 3 of the following (you can turn all but the last two off at runtime and the first only needs to build to pass at a min): 1. Develop change (To leave development it must build and pass *NEW* tests, this is where the automation should go) 2. Review (this is where human eyes come in once all the automated tests are passed) 3. Intergration make sure it plays well with others -- Aryeh M. Friedman, Lead Developer, http://www.PetiteCloud.org
