Hey Guys,
are there any plans to upgrade CruiseControl.rb to rails 2.1? I wanted to check to see if 1) anyone is working on this or 2) if there are any reasons not to do this.

If the core team thinks it is worth it to upgrade the official core I would be interested in working on it. I love cruisecontrol.rb and I've written some plugins but I have to do some "black-ninja" coding to get them to work in the old rails. With the new rails it would be possible to write plugins that could drop in more easily.

Let me know what you think!

Sounds like a good idea, and it is easy with Git - just clone and start hacking.

Note, I believe Alexey is still planning to move the repository to
GitHub Real Soon (?).  Then, you can make your changes easily public
and sync-able.  It is more work for you to publish your branch changes
when it it still on the RubyForge git repo.

Yup. Real Soon :)

As for upgrading to Rails 2.1, what would we gain by doing it?

Perhaps compatibility with Ruby 1.8.7?

Hmm... this does sound like a good reason. 1.8.7 is not a sane Ruby
version yet, but eventually we'll have to support it.

I'd say easier hackability, as well.  Can't hurt to keep up with the
times and have the code be what people will be familiar with...

Having thought about it for a bit, I'd say we should maybe port it to
Merb instead :) Smaller memory footprint, and it's similar enough to
Rails that hackability wont suffer too much.

I'd second that - our builders are WAY to big and bulky for what they do, and I think merb could significantly help with that.

I think that is a great idea.  How would you approach it?  Maybe we
can start from scratch on a clean slate GitHub project, and begin
porting the functional tests to TDD the equivalent Merb features into
existence?  Are there any integration-type tests (Selenium, etc?) in
existence anywhere?

Hey guys, I'm curious about the state of the Merb fork of cruisecontrol.

1) Did this happen? If so where is the canonical git repo? I'm guessing github, but which one?
2) Is this the "official" plan to move forward with this? Sorry, I'm not sure who the core developers of cruisecontrol.rb are. I'm just curious if the Merb fork is the hobby of a few or the vision of the future.

I ask all of this because I'd like to do some cruisecontrol hacking (more plugins, iphone interface etc) and I'd just like to know the best place to focus my efforts.

Thanks!

Alexey and I are the two main developers, though we often have help from others.  The current plan is to move to merb, and also to github.  Alexey will have to tell you what the status is currently.

Been spiking it out last week, and will continue doing so tomorrow.
It's nowhere near done, we are not even sure if it's a good idea yet.
