Now I’ve read a couple of old posts about this and the usual response is “use Damage Control” but from the looks of it this hasn’t been supported for quite a while… I’m just curious to see if anyone has used Ruby or Rake to build their project and used CruiseControl or [CruiseControl.NET](http://CruiseControl.NET) to run it. I know it’s possible, it would simply need a [N]Ant script with an task. However this will not report the results back for publishing as cleanly or nicely as a nant task, or would it? Do I need to re-write my rake file in nant?!

Another option I was just made aware of last week is Cerberus[1]. Since then, I’ve also seen it mentioned in a blog and an announcement of a new version on this list. So it seems pretty active. It’s still fairly new, but might be worth looking into. I’m planning on checking it out this weekend. Jacob F. [1] [http://cerberus.rubyforge.org/](http://cerberus.rubyforge.org/) ---

If you’re already using Trac to manage bugs and whatnot… bitten is pretty neat… it’s written in python, but it can run pretty much anything. I haven’t used it with rake yet, but I assume it could run that as easily as a shell script. It’s simple and does what I need for the time being. [http://bitten.cmlenz.net/](http://bitten.cmlenz.net/) Also, Luntbuild is rather configureable and can deal with many builds and dependancies well. It’s another java CI tool though.

There is also a project called Rant… [http://rant.rubyforge.org/](http://rant.rubyforge.org/) which I’ve not used, so don’t know how similar it is to Ant. It says it is similar to make. > Again I’m just curious to find out if anyone is using Rake or Ruby with > [CruiseControl.NET](http://CruiseControl.NET) [http://www.pragmaticautomation.com/cgi-bin/pragauto.cgi](http://www.pragmaticautomation.com/cgi-bin/pragauto.cgi) might be worth an explore. > Gem ``` Hugh ```
