Re: Anthill Build regardless Question

Josue,

AnthillOS doesn't handle this situation particularly well. It's really 
designed to be doing the interaction with your core project. You do have 
a couple options though.

1) Use a 'file system' repository. If your build script changes almost 
never, you could manually put that build script out to some location and 
just have AnthillOS run against that. The File System Repo doesn't 
detect changes, so it will always build.

2) Check in bogus changes. If your SVN tasks could also check in a bogus 
change to a scratch file in the /mainfolder/build path, Anthill would 
see those changes on the next build and react to them.

3) Grab the source, and change how schedules work. :)

AnthillPro handles this quite nicely and if we get some time to revisit 
AnthillOS, we might steal a feature from it and add a force build flag 
to schedules.
