Thanks for the reminder about PITA. I'd (unforgivably) forgotten about that project when I first enquired. Sorry 'bout that. ;-) > Initial deployment targets include a pugs smoker, parrot smoker, and > CPAN Testers 2. > > Of course, I have no idea how you projects are structured, but it may > well be that it would be appropriate. > > Of course, it partly depends on how quickly you need it... if you are > in a hurry, then I'll get back to you in a few months. I don't see an urgent need, though it's something we'd like to have. I guess the main pressure is coming from the grass roots level where a Java programmer might enquire "why don't we use CruiseControl?" or a .NET guy might suggest something else or someone else just saw an article on BuildBot and asks why don't we use that. I do find it a bit disturbing that noone seems to ask about Perl-based solutions. ;-) In the name of empowerment or anarchy, we could allow each group to do their own thing and set up their own preferred tool themselves. OTOH, we might try to build a single system that worked with Java, .NET, C++, Perl, and so on. In terms of requirements, our Perl stuff is standard TAP, while our C++ stuff has very home-grown non-standard multi-platform builds and regression test suites.
