Managed Source Control Hosting and Continuous Integration with CVSDude and CruiseControl.net

Question

For my own project at home, I'm using the rather excellent managed subversion hosting from CVSDude. As it's only me working on the code right now, I'm not using CruiseControl.net, however I expect this will change in the next couple of months and will want a full build process to kick off upon check-in.

Has anyone managed to get CruiseControl.net working with CVSDude? My collegue Mike has this blog post where someone from CVSDude said:

"Your can use our post-commit call back facility to call a URL on your server, which passes variables relating to the last checkin (variables detailed in our specification). Your CGI script will these variables and perform whatever tasks are required i.e. updating Cruise Control, etc."

Sounds lovely. But has anyone actually done it with cruisecontrol?

Answer 1

I have heard about people getting it to work with their SVN server, however nothing concrete.

Answer 2

I don't know the answer but I recommend using Assembla instead of CVSDude and TeamCity instead of CruiseControl.net.

Answer 3

@rafek - Thanks - I'll check those out. I love resharper so am prepared to try anything by jetbrains. I'm going to try and stick with CVSDude and CCNet for the begining of this project as they're in my comfort zone.

Answer 4

I had this email back from CVSDude:

We are currently working on a new version of our service which willeventually include CruiseControl integration.

Answer 5

Dunno if you are still interested, but we have CruiseControl (the original Java-based one, not .NET, but this shouldn't matter much) working with CVSDude - it just does svn log every minute to check if anything changed. We plan to switch to using their API though as unfortunately svn log has some lag behind the realtime update.
