Project Automation Book

This book ( http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/sk/auto/ ) talk about this topic and show good examples.

You can see Buildix ( http://buildix.thoughtworks.com/ ) an Agile development platform with

1) Subversion for Source Control

2) Trac for a Wiki, Bug-Tracker and general Project Management

3) Cruise Control for Continuous Integration

I basically just followed

I basically just followed the getting started page from cruisecontrol

http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/gettingstartedsourcedist.html

Instead of ant files I simply used bash scripts, our configuration can be found under

https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/origo/core/trunk/examples/cruisecontrol/config.xml

More details

Do you have a page that goes more in the details of how one would setup such an environment?

Thanks, Manu

This setup is a great advantage

I'd just like to add here that this setup proves to be extremely useful in the development of Origo. We detect regressions almost instantly and getting an email after a successful build and test of Origo is always cool. The system even let's us know how long it took to do a clean build - at the moment a bit more than twenty minutes.

A similar approach should in my opinion be used for every bigger project.

Goanna and webserver

Goanna is used for the xmlrpc interface using fastcgi and apache. The website itself is based on Drupal and uses php. I also did some testing with lighttpd which also seems to work fine with goanna fastcgi and which is a lot faster and scales better http://origo.ethz.ch/index.php/Performance

First thoughts

Very interesting. Are you using Goanna as part of the software? There is no tag for it. What are you using to provide HTTPS communications?

External access will be available soon

There will be access to the API very soon. The API is split in an internal and external part, the internal part is very small and almost everything is also available externally. For external applications, login will be done with a per user key to prevent brute force password hacking attempts.

Another student is already working on creating plugins for EiffelStudio, VisualStudio and Eclipse

Client tools

I've already got my project page up!

I forgot to ask till, and maybe you know. is the XMLRPC accessible to external clients? Just thinking about the client tools domain. Actually it would nice to have a Eiffel framework API we could use for the purpose of developing tools (We developers only want more, more, more!)
