Thanks for the follow @noderabbit! As you know by now, we are building DjangoZoom, a commercial service to streamline and automate Django deployments. It automatically creates the environment on the server using virtualenv, installs all the dependencies using pip, and provides rollback in case something goes wrong. Sign up for the beta at http://djangozoom.com and we'll let you know when it's available!

Daily? We run tests on every checkin

db migration is tricky.

To test that "clean slate" deployment continues to work I'd recommend a daily build task that creates a virtualenv --no-site-packages plus pip to install all deps and then run testsuite. Works very well for me.

Though my post was more about deployment stuff, we're using BuildBot (http://buildbot.net/trac) regularly on our projects.

Now I'm rethinking our CI and deployment process to move towards Continuous Deployment as described by Eric Ries (http://www.startuplessonslearned.com/2009/06/wh...)

We intent to either continue to use BuildBot or try Hudson (http://hudson-ci.org/) or Pony-Build (http://github.com/jacobian/pony-build-django) for integration part.

what about using buildbot as CI server?
