Hi,

We don't have software that automatically builds new packages when
something is commited in svn. TU/Dev's usually use devtools ( pacman -S
devtools ) to build packages in a clean chroot. [1]

What automatic "testing" are you looking for? We have namcap which
checks for packaging problems.

To manage the main repo we use dbscripts [2] and for example
communitypkg which is in devtools. You can find a description of adding
a package to our repos in the first link.
