bumcheekcity's Easy Snapshot Maker

It is exhausting trying to put that information everywhere. We have it plastered in stickies, we post it in response to someone's issue once every other page, we put it in signatures, and still it is not enough. Many people have given up trying to proactively educate because there is a subset of users that just won't get it until a feature that they want breaks.

If the build procees automatically checked in the latest build into a SVN somewhere, Mafia could eventually become self-updating

checking repo
download latest version
next time you run Mafia it will build <blah>

I believe that would either require users to install the JDK or automatically download the JARs. The latter functionality is already available (albeit not "built-in").

There may not be any good solution so long as we adhere to the point release system

Perhaps that is worthy of discussion in another thread? My recollection is that point releases were a necessary evil at a time when KoLmafia was maturing, KoL was changing rapidly, and there were interim builds that were broken. I feel like the times, they are a changing, and it might make sense to abandon the concept of a point release.
