nightly build Script for SubVersion

I have prepared a solution with multiple projects with Netbeans IDE versioned under Linux with Subversion.

I would like to prepare a scri开发者_如何学运维pt that automatize nightly build creation: - checkout latest version from the SVN - compile multiple projects - choose a subset of files (libraries, headers, etc...) - tar.gz them - commit the tar.gz to the SVN

Some suggestions? Thanks in advance Ciao Andrea

The google phrase is continous integration.

For Java you can start with checking out CruiseControl. You can configure it to run both nightly builds and continous integration (on every checking in SVN). The actual build script would be written in Ant or similar.
