Hudson. We were set up in two hours.

I don't understand the free vs. non-free argument. It seems like more of a rhetorical technique than an engineering one, whether argued by either camp.

IMHO your shop should determine what it needs, see what alternatives can meet the needs, then do an honest ("my time is money but my money is also money") cost benefit analysis to determine how to solve the problem. Nothing fancy; just back of napkin is probably good enough.

In our case we went with Hudson because we wanted:

- a Windows box for C++

- a Linux box for Java and Ruby

- a Mac for Objective C

- something that was Git-friendly

- the same CI system on all the machines

It's reasonably easy to set up and maintain, met our requirements, had a bunch of "nice to have" plugins that went beyond our actual requirements, and we're pretty happy with it. YMMV.

I think the "Apprenticeship Patterns" book it's best read I've done last year.

Roy, give it a go if you haven't read it.

I totally agree with you here. Especially in the case of TeamCity ... the value it provides given the short setup time is incredible and blows every OSS toolchain I've encountered out of the water (cost/benefit wise ... I've seen toolchains offering more value - based on the particular project business of that company - but they were heavily customized and massively complex).

Cheers,
