hudson revisited

Since I recently revisited cruise, I wondered how the other engines I previously used would fare in a revisit. Let's take another look at Hudson.
Cruise (from thoughtworks, the authors of CCNet)had an update that said they had better perforce integration. I decide it's time to revisit.

Last visit to cruise, we passed on it. It had nice dependency and build machine farm setups for cascading builds and queueing blocks of commands between machines, but it always did a full 'p4 sync' to a temp client spec, and couldn't use multiple clients from different p4 servers. This was a blocker, because at work, art data and code files live in different repositories. It would also probably eventually clutter p4 metadata beyond belief.

Let's see if things have improved.
Happy new year!

The family and I attended an awesome roll-your-own sushi new year's party (thanks guys!), and we're recovering.

We had a year-end flex spending crisis, we used our new all-in-one fax machine, and we have some goals for the new year.
