[p4] Build automation question

[Heck, Joe]

I've used CruiseControl with Perforce without issue - although the high
security (token only) settings caused some trials in allowing the
"cruisecontrol" user to check out the code. A scripted nightly login for
a read-only account resolved the issue.

I've also used Continuum (Maven2 related, but not exclusively) with
Perforce without trouble.

Subject: [p4] Build automation question

Does anyone have suggestions for a build automation tool that works well
with Perforce?

 

I've been looking at Parabuild, Pulse and Quickbuild, but they are all
limited in their functions. I would like to find a tool that can perform
continuous builds for us, but is also capable of accepting changelist
inputs when kicking off a build.

 

Additionally, we build out of 2 depots that reside under a single
Perforce server. This means that we have one changelist counter that
keeps growing across all depots. We actually create workspaces on the
fly. My current homebrew build script accepts different branch names for
the 2 components and 2 different changelists as one component may be at
a different point in development than the other. Is anyone aware of a
build tool that allows for different branches and/or changelists? 

 

Thanks,

 

Jay Renbaum
