Install DamageControl on the source control server

Refer to Subversion Access for more instructions.

Check out CVSROOT

First check out the CVSROOT of your project.

cvs -d<cvsroot to your repository> checkout CVSROOT

Install the trigger

Add the following line to CVSROOT/loginfo.

<name of module> <path to your DamageControl installation>/bin/requestbuild(.cmd) --url http://your-damagecontrol-host:4712/private/xmlrpc --projectname <name of project>

Explanation:

• The first token <name of module> is the name of the CVS module for which you want to enable DC builds.
• The rest of the line is an invocation to a script in your DamageControl installation. Append .cmd to the script if on Windows, otherwise leave it out.
• The url to your DamageControl server is usually http://localhost:4712/private/xmlrpc if running on the same host as your source control system.
• The projectname should be exactly the same project name you used to configure your project in DamageControl (yes, it is sensitive to case).
• This will override any DEFAULT line you may have, so you might want to consider using ALL for other entries.

Test it!

Do a test commit. It should start the build and print out something like the following:

Trigging build of ProjectName DamageControl on http://localhost:4712/private/xmlrpc
Monitor build results at:
http://localhost:4712/public/project?project_name=#{project_name}
