official recommendation is to use LNT instead. I will write docs on setting up
an LNT installation for submission to llvm.org, one day.

<p>
The <a href="http://llvm.org/nightlytest/">LLVM Nightly Testers</a>
automatically check out an LLVM tree, build it, run the "nightly"
program test (described above), run all of the DejaGNU tests,
delete the checked out tree, and then submit the results to
<a href="http://llvm.org/nightlytest/">http://llvm.org/nightlytest/</a>.
After test results are submitted to
<a href="http://llvm.org/nightlytest/">http://llvm.org/nightlytest/</a>,
they are processed and displayed on the tests page. An email to
<a href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-testresults/">
llvm-testresults@cs.uiuc.edu</a> summarizing the results is also generated.
This testing scheme is designed to ensure that programs don't break as well
as keep track of LLVM's progress over time.</p>
<p>If you'd like to set up an instance of the nightly tester to run on your
machine, take a look at the comments at the top of the
<tt>utils/NewNightlyTest.pl</tt> file. If you decide to set up a nightly tester
please choose a unique nickname and invoke <tt>utils/NewNightlyTest.pl</tt>
with the "-nickname [yournickname]" command line option.
<p>You can create a shell script to encapsulate the running of the script.
The optimized x86 Linux nightly test is run from just such a script:</p>
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
BASE=/proj/work/llvm/nightlytest
export BUILDDIR=$BASE/build
export WEBDIR=$BASE/testresults
export LLVMGCCDIR=/proj/work/llvm/cfrontend/install
export PATH=/proj/install/bin:$LLVMGCCDIR/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/proj/install/lib
cd $BASE
cp /proj/work/llvm/llvm/utils/NewNightlyTest.pl .
nice ./NewNightlyTest.pl -nice -release -verbose -parallel -enable-linscan \
-nickname NightlyTester -noexternals &gt; output.log 2&gt;&amp;1
</pre>
</div>
<p>It is also possible to specify the the location your nightly test results
are submitted. You can do this by passing the command line option
"-submit-server [server_address]" and "-submit-script [script_on_server]" to
<tt>utils/NewNightlyTest.pl</tt>. For example, to submit to the llvm.org
nightly test results page, you would invoke the nightly test script with
"-submit-server llvm.org -submit-script /nightlytest/NightlyTestAccept.cgi".
If these options are not specified, the nightly test script sends the results
to the llvm.org nightly test results page.</p>
<p>Take a look at the <tt>NewNightlyTest.pl</tt> file to see what all of the
flags and strings do. If you start running the nightly tests, please let us
know. Thanks!</p>
