We use DIY tools pieced together with Bash, TCL/Tk, and Python. We haven’t gone to a packaged system (yet?) because I can usually crank out the next requested feature in less time than it takes to evaluate and install a pre-packaged system. Installation “costs” are somewhat higher in my case because introducing a third-party package at my work requires permission from my supervisor, the sysadmin, and usually at least one other manager. Most days it’s easier and faster to just write the code myself. The results are functional, but nowhere near as nice as, for example, Google’s BuildBot waterfall for their Chromium project.

One tool I use heavily is FinalBuilder (http://www.finalbuilder.com). They provide a server and scripting language. What I like about it is you can create any build workflow you want with tons of pre-canned functionality.

Greetings, here’s another self plug as Jason so nicely puts it:.

You’ve left off Cruise from ThoughtWorks (http://studios.thoughtworks.com/cruise). It’s commercial build/test/deploy/release focused. Works for most platforms and languages. Free for small and open source teams.

There’s also CruiseControl.NET (http://ccnet.thoughtworks.com) – an open source rewrite of the original CruiseControl for Java we did for clients who refused to have any Java on their systems.

You're missing a couple from The CI Feature Matrix. There are also some comparisons here. (And this page should be added to the links there.) And while it isn't a tool anyone interested in one of these tools might also be interested in CITCON, both the conference and the mailing list.

I’m with Atlassian, makers of Bamboo. Just wanted to note that Bamboo, as well as all of our products, is free to non-profits and open source projects, so let us know if you are interested: http://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/licensing.jsp#nonprofit
