I have become a recent fan of WordPress and GitHub having seen the Gist feature recently on a blog I wanted to put it on this site. I need to embed github gist WordPress so that I can present my code well to users and readers. I use GitHub, and they provide an awesome feature […]
We now have a solution to update each of our customer sites on our devserver. We installed ANT on the server to the default directories and then called the undocumented cfant tag via ColdFusion. Installing the necessary files to get the SVN task working isnt hard, you simply download and drop these files into the […]
Following on from other posts, we continue to improve our build files for deployment of client sites. Our latest addition is the sshexec task for clients using Linux or a LAMP environment to host their site. Our build files move the code out of SVN, zip it up, commit the build record back to SVN, […]
We have been fiddling with getting CF to call a self updating ANT script. There are a few articles around about the undocumented cfant tag. Getting cfant to run a build file is not all that hard, we loop over the sites in our dev server directory, check to see if a build file exists […]
I just took a trip around on CVSDude, and had a look at their testimonials page. We use them for source control, outsourcing it is so much easier than doing it at work or home your self, and they have excellent rates. Anyhow – I noticed that my quote, made while at a small (but […]
Recently we installed Subversion into my workplace, and then moved it to CVSDude.com. As this happened I went in search of a decent web based browser for SVN and also something that would help me integrate more closely with our in house built ticket system. The only ColdFusion based SVN Browser I could find was […]
I have been using ANT to get builds done of the many projects we work on, and one of the things that has bugged me was that the SVN username and passowrd was stored in the build.properties file. Today the ANT Manual came to the rescue with the input task. Lets look at the example […]
As part of my build and deploy process I wanted to get the revision number of the working copy and append it into the application so its visible. To do this you need to have already installed the SVNAnt task, (see my previous post) as its not a core ANT task. Using the status task, […]
Once you have installed the SVN task to Eclipse, you can begin to look at the possibilities. For example in a deployment scenario you could use ANT to export the HEAD revision so you have a clean set of files ready for moving by FTP or some other means. There certainly isnt any VooDoo here, […]
