[Dart] one problem left with Nightly Builds: always 0 cvs updates

[David Cole]

Since you're still asking questions...

> Does ctest do a "make clean" before starting the build ?
To achieve the intended effect of a "make clean" do (1) or (2) with a
non-continuous dashboard (nightly or experimental)....

(1) in an "older style" ctest -S script:
SET(CTEST_START_WITH_EMPTY_BINARY_DIRECTORY TRUE)

(2) in a "new style" ctest -S script:
CTEST_EMPTY_BINARY_DIRECTORY("${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}")

> So the right way to set this up is to checkout the modules once and

Correct.

You can find example scripts on the CMake and VTK dashboards at 
http://public.kitware.com/dashboard.php. In the "Build Name" column 
click on the icon link to the "Notes.html" files. Those are usually the 
ctest -S scripts used to drive the dashboards.
