I bought the book "Pragmatic Project Automation" and tried following the
steps. (There is a free chapter online to do with CC)
Unfortunately this book is outdated and many of the examples do not
work, use deprecated methods etc.
Getting CC working with subversion was also much more painful than it
needed to be.
It _does_ work however, and it's actually a good tool. The web-based
reports and simple emailing of build status work great. As I said, I
will write up a HOWTO on the whole process once I'm finished with it.
