[Cruisecontrolrb-users] will this work?

[Bill Walton]

Greetings!

I've inherited a CI environment that's not working on a number of levels.  A
quick review of the documentation for ccrb reveals....

Prerequisites
Ruby 1.8.4 or 1.8.5 (Note: at the time of this writing there is a known
problem with Ruby 1.8.6 that should be fixed in the next release of Ruby
1.8)
Subversion client 1.4 or later

A quick review of the CI environment reveals...
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-06-07 patchlevel 36) [i386-linux]
svn, version 1.3.2 (r19776)

Our needs at this point are very simple: just run rake and send email noting
pass or fail.  The note re: Ruby above makes no mention of whether the bug
just limits cruisecontrolrb's capabilities or prevents it from running
successfully at all under 1.8.6.

Can I get anything working in the environment I'm currently stuck with?   Or
should I just move to another tool (e.g. Cerberus) until either I can get
the environment straightened out or the Ruby bug gets fixed?

Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Bill
