Nightly Builds

Nightly builds are a good thing, they provide immediate feedback to developers if they broke the build. Having a nightly build means that the software stable and is likely to build for new users.

Software that is not built regularly is difficult to release. McCarthy says "If you build it, it will ship"

A nightly build is the practice of automatically launching a build that reflects the current state of the sourcecode each night.   Developers arrive in the morning to assess the results in order to verify that their most recent changes to the source code have not broken the build process or the functionality of the software.
