Which continuous integration software do you use?

Google says there are:

  • Jenkins ( first impression: not lightweight )
  • Cruise control ( first impression: not lightweight )
  • Bitten ( seems to be dead, last ticket >8 months old)
  • BuildBot

But BuildBot seems a bit outdated, offering no statistics, not very intuitive to configure... Features we are interested in are:

  • Multi platform support for build slaves: Linux, Mac OS X, Windows
  • Easy build slave setup
  • Mercurial support with branch sensitivity
  • Scheduled builds
  • Commit-hook builds
  • Email notification with full debug output
  • Trac integration would be nice but is not a must-have feature

Edit: I favour Jenkins over Hudson by now, since its the real open source fork of Hudson. Oracle just failed.

Solution

  • Hudson is my recommendation. It's easy to setup and use, it's free, there are a large amount of third-party plugins and good community support.
