Buildix

Posted by Jason Tue, 11 Jul 2006 03:13:00 GMT

ThoughtWorks recently unleashed Buildix. It’s a Linux distribution that gives you headstart on setting up a development server for your team. You get Subversion, Trac, and CruiseControl right out of the box.

I’m excited to try it out. It definitely scratches an itch I’ve had for a while. Last time I tried to install Trac, it was a bit of a trial in the dependency department.

Of course, the best part is these tools are integrated. Bug tracking and continuous builds are now in “easier than not doing it” territory.

    That looks pretty cool – but people who capitalize “agile” every time they use it kick my strangle reflex into overdrive.

    Hey, the ThoughtWorks guys need to protect their lucrative conference talk business somehow.

    If you set up such a server, could you recommend a suitable client so I could learn how to use these collaborative programming techniques.

    You don’t need any special clients. For subversion, you should just use the normal command line client, or any of the GUI clients if you prefer. Trac is a regular web application… CruiseControl has a web interface as well.
