Re: How to enable multiple cruise control servers co-work?

Hi Allen,
I think there are a couple of ways you could tackle this.

I was able to setup a similar build environment where I had one 'master' 
build server that was controlling multiple other build servers.  In my 
case, the master was a Windows machine, while the other build servers 
were various flavors of Linux.  I  was able to configure everything 
using the 'distributed' extensions found in the contrib directory.  
Instructions can be found at: 
http://cruisecontrol.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cruisecontrol/trunk/cruisecontrol/documentation/distributed/index.html.

The nice thing with this route was that I could actually control all the 
builds from the master build server, and I knew exactly what each one 
was doing.  I was also able to setup some tricky build scenarios where 
one of the Linux builds (the one that took the longest) would only build 
if the Windows build was successful.  The downside was that it took me a 
couple of days to get everything working and configured the way I wanted.

But if you wanted something faster, and that only provided status 
reports, then you should be able to use the ftppublisher or scp 
publisher.  I think you'll just need to copy the files from your client 
machines to your master machine's log directory, being sure to create a 
new sub-directory for each of these client projects.
