Installing Xinc

The easiest way to install Xinc is using PEAR :

    pear channel-discover pear.xinc.eu
    pear install VersionControl_SVN-alpha
    pear install --alldeps xinc/Xinc-beta

Finally you need to run the post-installation script :

    pear run-scripts xinc/Xinc

Configuration scripts for Xinc

Once we have Xinc installed on our server, we can start creating the configuration file config.xml. First we create a project with the settings below :

    Name : XincProject
    svn Repository : svn://svn.sample/trunk
    project path : /var/xinc/projects/Xincproject

Then create /etc/xinc/conf.d/XincProject.xml :


    <?xml version="1.0"?>

    <xinc engine="Sunrise">

    <project name="XincProject">

    <property name="dir" value="${projectdir}/${project.name}" />


    <schedule interval="240" />

    <modificationset>

    <svn directory="${dir}" update="true" />

    </modificationset>

    <builders>

    <phingbuilder buildfile="${dir}/build.xml" />


    </builders>

    <publishers>

    <onfailure>

    <email to="you@email.com" subject="Build failed"

    message="Build of project failed" />

    </onfailure>


    <onsuccess>

    <email to="you@email.com" subject="Build success"

    message="Build of project was successful" />

    </onsuccess>

    </publishers>


    </project>

    </xinc>

Now you are ready to start xinc deamon from :

    /etc/init.d/xinc start

To test xinc simply make any change in your repository and commit. You should receive the first email within minutes concerning build success or failure.
