[Adium-devl] Nightly Builds?

[Colin Barrett]

Exactly what I want to hear.

Partial updating is coming a long, I really hope I can have the patch  
and diff tools for it finished by Friday. I've been talking to Andy  
about the changes to Sparkle itself and have taken a look at what's  
necessary and it does not seem too bad.

I definitely think we should do partial updates before doing  
nightlies. Let's say we have 1000 people updating to the latest  
nightly every day, that gives us:

21MB/download * 1000 downloads/day * 31 days/month

= 635.742188 gigabytes/month

Partial updates seem like a definite must before proceeding to me.  
Anyone disagree?
