Wheeljack Description

A build system. Wheeljack is an automated build system with a focus on simplicity. Especially regarding work needed to setup the system or a new project. To satisfy this requirement it handles configuration through a web interface. This means that setting up a new project should be a matter of seconds.Supported version control systemsCurrently Wheeljack supports Bazaar only. This is not a hard requirement for the software and a plugin system is planned to enable support for other systems.Installation:Wheeljack can be installed use one of two methods. The first is to setup everything yourself. The other is to use the provided installation template. People unfamiliar with Django are probably best off with an installation using the template. Read the next section on how to use this template. The rest of this section assumes a certain familiarity with Django.To use Wheeljack you can create a Django project. Wheeljack ships with a pre-configured project you can use to import or copy from. The application itself is a normal Django app. The already setup project can be found under the src/wheeljack/project directory.You can install the code by running python2.5 setup.py. This will also create a script called wheeljack. That script is the build slave.The build slave needs to be executed periodically. You could set it up to run uninterrupted or from a cron job. Please look at the options it supports by executing:$ wheeljack --helpInstalling Wheeljack using the templateTo easiest way to get started is to follow along with the instructions in this guide.Download the Wheeljack installation template. After extracting the archive you need to edit a few files.Open a terminal and execute the following line from within the directory that contains buildout.cfg:$ python2.5 bootstrap.pyThis will create a new script which will start with the installation. The installation can be ran as a normal system user and will not try to install anything outside of it's current directory. $ ./bin/buildoutWithin the directory called autobot there is a file named settings.py. Open this file and change the settings for EMAIL_HOST, DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL, ADMINS, TIME_ZONE and LANGUAGE_CODE.Create an initial database which will store the project info. This will ask you to create a new admin user. Answer yes to this. $ ./bin/django syncdbEdit etc/supervisord.conf and change the user and password options to ones you entered earlier.Now you are ready to start Wheeljack. This example configuration uses Supervisord to manage it's processes. Run the following command to start both a builder and the web server. $ ./bin/supervisord -c etc/supervisord.confThe webserver is automatically started at port 8000. This can be changed from the etc/supervisord.conf file.Now you can visit the Wheeljack-interface. If everything works O.K. there is only one thing left to do. Please reopen settings.py. Remove or comment the line that says DEBUG = True. Requirements: · Python What's New in This Release: · A builder is started directly by forcing a build of a project. This mean you don't have to wait until a scheduled build takes place. · Made it possible to specify the configuration as an alternative to entering user name and password for the wheeljack command. · Fixed a problem where a forced build of a wrongly configured repository would crash the builder. · A notification is send when a build starts working again (after at least one failed build). · Added a migration system (South) for easier upgrading between versions.
