Buildix from ThoughtWorks :: project start-up in a box:
Continuous Integration, Source Control, a Wiki and a Bug-Tracker are all cornerstones of a functioning Agile development project. But if you’ve not configured them all before, it can be a bit tricky – and you might miss some of the tight integration that makes them really useful. At ThoughtWorks, we have considerable experience with configuring Agile development servers in enterprise environments, and we would like to share that experience. So we decided to roll our favourite components together – and produced Buildix. Buildix will get your Continuous Integration development environment up to speed quickly and easily. It’s an Agile development platform on a disk, with best-of-breed Agile tools, pre-installed and configured on a KNOPPIX-based Linux distribution. Buildix includes: * Subversion for Source Control * Trac for a Wiki, Bug-Tracker and general Project Management * Cruise Control for Continuous Integration * …plus a little bit of our own ThoughtWorks magic, to glue it all together Schematic illustrating key features of buidix You can rapidly deploy your new infrastructure: you can run Buildix from the CD, then get your Agile processes kicked off immediately with our included demo project. Alternatively, install it to hard disk and use it as the base of your own software projects. The ‘Add New Project’ wizard will get your team’s project started with a single command. We find it particularly useful for getting our own project teams up and running really quickly. You can be developing working software in seconds! Buildix: everything you need to get started in one easy install!
