If you dont want to do that another thing that needs to be done is the build scripts that allow the node to be built across the platforms on the cloud. We can fund the hosting and base it per
build (when code changes) again bitcoin already has this but our makefiles need to be all working then we can do the same thing.

What exactly do you need the build scripts modified to do?

I would like devcoin to be built the same way as bitcoin. If it uses cloud then it probably downloads all the dependencies and makes everything.. im not sure exactly what the
bitcoin build system is like but it does make all the different platforms as now we have seperate admins responsible for the builds it would be ideal if we can automate this process.

Oh god, you want to use autotools.

Its essentially the start of a real release process which we dont have: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-process.md


Using the gitian builder procedure is like this https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/gitian-building.md scripts are already in btc src directory.

I like the autotools when I'm building a project, but as a developer, I hate them. I tried to learn it several times, the documentation SUUUUUCKS.

Me too. but truely, If we want to follow bitcoin, we should consider using autotools, that bitcoin has already did in 0.8.6 (or may be 0.8.7?)
