Anthill OS

AnthillPro is a continuous integration system published by Urbancode.

Once upon a time, way back in its life, Anthill was plain Anthill and there was an open source variant, Anthill OS. I started using this for automated building and packaging of work's projects about 4 years ago. Since then, I've added to it a couple of times to meet work requirements, first adding Subversion support and lately Mercurial support.

Being a good little Open Source citizen, I contributed my changes back to Urbancode. But I think they've lost interest in Anthill OS. Some made it in, but most have barely been acknowledged. So I'm making them available for anyone who wants them.

I make Anthill OS available as two Mercurial repositories. The main repository is simply an import of the Anthill OS CVS.

My changes are in the form of Mercurial Queues (MQ) patches. At the moment, Mercurial's handling of distributing these could be neater. To set up your local Mercurial repository with Anthill OS plus my patches, do this:

$ hg clone http://hg.lunch.org.uk/Anthill
$ cd Anthill/.hg
$ hg clone http://hg.lunch.org.uk/Anthill/.hg/patches
$ cd ..

You can then apply all the patches:

$ hg qpush -a

For more details on MQ, see Bryan O'Sullivan's excellent Mercurial book.
