I'm running a Jenkins server against the SourceForge Xastir project, which checks periodically and does a rebuild if it finds the sources have changed.  A continuous integration server like that could also trigger builds and releases if one wanted.  Then it wouldn't matter how often the sources were changes, within an hour or so a new build would be created, or error messages sent if it wouldn't build.

Just a thought.

I'm using it to send me error messages if someone commits code which breaks the build.  Actually have four projects configured:

     anonCVS xastir
     anonCVS xastir-qt
     devCVS xastir
     devCVS xastir-qt

If someone wants to set up a Jenkins instance of their own against SourceForge, I'd be happy to share the configs I created.  Would save you some time.
