The current version of the maven buildnumber plugin does not yet support the git scm backend. This makes it harder to get the git sha for the current build (often a snapshot build) into the MANIFEST.MF file.

Let's look at using the exec plugin as a workaround.

After running continuous integration with continuum for a long while (which works great for maven projects) I decided to take a look at Hudson. It can also do maven - but seems to have a larger range of plugins available. Of interest to me was grails.

This is a work in progress/idea dump right now - any suggestions/improvements - please do leave a comment ;)

I have quite a few sites that are using drupal. I know I could go the route of a multisite install (I've done it before) - but I found that the requirement of upgrading all sites simultaneously was a bit too hard. However - upgrading everything by hand for each site is also poor.

With the backported git 1.6 packages installed (see Backport git 1.6 for debian) - to add mailing lists for commits/tags:

cd src/<project>.git/hooks
ln -s /usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email post-receive
git config --add hooks.mailinglist "development@mailhost.tld"
git config --add hooks.announcelist "announce@mailhost.tld"
git config --add hooks.envelopesender "from_addr@host.tld"

Note that /usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email must be executable - chmod a+x if you need to.

Using git for handling CVS checkouts for drupal contrib:

Details are on Maintaining a Drupal module using Git

For Mac OSX users you will need cvsps (fink install cvsps for example).

Useful alias for your .gitconfig:

drupalcontribcvs = !sh -c 'git cvsimport -p x -v -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib contributions/modules/$0'

This allows you to call

git drupalcontribcvs <modulename>

git 1.6 is available in debian experimental. I want to use it under debian stable (etch).

Let's backport it.

Kudos to Steve Kemp for walking me through this.
