Re: CruiseControl build loop for a C/C++ project?

Hi all,


[*bump*]


I'm trying to grok the CruiseControl config system.

>From reading the docs, I think a have a basic design, but I still have a few questions.


Please see:

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/4f30f8cdf2141128b79b


The goals are:


 - Build twice a day: 6am, 6pm
 - Keep 30 days of logs and artifacts
 - If build worked, run a "deploy to demo machine" script.


But, I have a few questions:


1) Is the "modificationset" on line 6/7 just noticing what files (if any) are changed in the svn repo used by that working copy _without_ doing any actual local updates?


2) If #1 above is true, where should the svn update happen?  As part of the "exec"d script?


3) On lines 11-19, did I get the "schedule" and "exec" elements correct? It seems weird that I need to repeat the command twice. 

Thank you again,

David
