Testing Buildix
So as promised I finally found some time to test Buildix from Thoughtworks.
- Installed a fresh Ubuntu Version
- Installed Buildix via apt-get as described.
Unfortunatley it did not work as expected - after a short search in the forums I found the correct hint here.
Simply set execute and write permission of the folder /usr/share/buildix for all other users and reboot the system. That’s it.
Ah Mingle - I was always interested in this software 
- so let’s give it a try. After filling in the settings for SMTP I created my first project - and - nothing happens. Server hangs, load is very high. Too bad - I simply lack the time to contact the support to figure out what happens - therefore I had to remove Mingle…
But - all the rest works great - I am amazed. I think this is the most easy way to get your continious integration server up and running.
Only User Management seem to lack some functionality. Right now everybody can register himself for write access to svn what is probably not the very best idea in the world. But it seems that they are working on it.
Let’s see how I will come along with Buildix…
