There's a slight disconnect to our group experience as Stefano set up our first Continuum CI and I did Hudson later, so I don't have the direct experience of both. Stefano had his reasons for wanting to move past Continuum, but I don't recall what they are, though I believe we stopped Continuum because the cost for any CI on our hardware resources at the time was too high. I speak mostly as an admin. Hudson is easy to set up. It works with our SVN+MVN environment, and while Maven2 integration wasn't good when we first installed it, getting a useful build is still fairly simple to accomplish. (I should go back and see if there's a better release now). The UI is decent and doesn't require I open up vi and hack on XML; but I could. The config structure fits in Subversion. Most of the user features you want are there (targeted email, basic and extended web reports), and others took little time to integrate, like a build bot in our IRC channel, and in the end, my experience with it is that it does just what it's supposed to, and well. While I can't give you a clear distinction between Continuum and Hudson, I did try CruiseControl. It's not worth it; also, I expect visually it would give users a headache. -- Ryan Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] MIT CSAIL Research Staff http://simile.mit.edu/ http://people.csail.mit.edu/ryanlee/ _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
