[Anthill] Updated documentation?

Tue Dec 6 16:15:27 CST 2005

Anthill will check for revisions since the last build and if there are 
none it will abort. You can try and force a build (click on the Build 
link on the main page and select the Force flag) and this will build no 
matter what.

You do not need the tags directory if you do not plan on tagging the 
code and rebuilding a particular version of the code from a tag.

I would suggest that you setup your Subversion dirver with project path 
like :
http://127.0.0.1:8080/Repos/Production/Code/LeaseGen/trunk
youcan point to
http://127.0.0.1:8080/Repos/Production/Code/LeaseGen/tags
for the tags URL but keep tagging off until you decide you want to do it .
With the above settings you can set the build script as webapp/build.xml
If you do not have a default task set in your script, you will need to 
specify a task as well.

Varban
