Thanks! Yes, I'm using a temporary php.ini which is just a bug :)

I renamed the Elements framework package to the Components application  
now and adapted the build scripts accordingly. In addition I avoid  
using a temporary php.ini to set include paths. This allows running  
the jobs on dev.horde.org now.

The remaining problem is the amount of available memory on that  
machine. The builds frequently fail because of that. So that is  
something we should still fix.

Installation of the ci setup should be rather simple:

  - Clone the horde-support repository
  - Run "make install" in horde-support/ci-hudson
  - Run "make start" in horde-support/ci-hudson

Feel free to test this on your local machine and report back if does not work.

There are certainly still a lot of things that can be improved so I'm  
happy about any comments.

At the moment I added 7 jobs to the Makefile. Feel free to add  
additional packages that have unit tests and should run fine.

What kind of notifications for build failures should we setup?

Cheers,

Gunnar
