Windows Build Server

Registered by aj00200

Setup a script to automatically generate a py2exe binary for Anonplus using WINE on a Linux server. This nightly build (or even more often) can then be downloaded by the beta testers to use and run windows tests on. The unit tests (tests.py) can also be run in WINE and the output can be reported along with the beta to highlight some areas that need extra testing.

Whiteboard

Please discuss the merits of a Windows nightly build server and whether or not we should make one. I will hack together some code to pull the latest code off of lp:anonplus and build it. I think it will be an important tool to have for maintaining Windows compatibility without using Windows ourselves because of the unit testing feature.

I discussed this with Pharno on IRC and he thought it was a good idea. I'm marking this as approved for now.

Buildserver looks nice. Maybe even have it too for linux unit tests.
