CS and the City

I spent today reading up on Ant (Java Build Environment) and CruiseControl (Continuous Integration Framework). I’ve run across CruiseControl in a few past jobs, but never worked with it directly. I was actually quite surprised to find that it is an open source project as I’ve always found it to be sophisticated.

In my travels today I stumbled upon Buildix. Buildix puts Subversion, CruiseControl, and Trac on a live disc (ala Knoppix). I’m really impressed with the integration of the layers. I would love to see Apple distribute this packaged with their servers. This would definitely set them apart in terms of development environments for small and medium sized dev shops.
