Cruisecontrolrb users - Jan 2010 - SVN+SSH Password

Hi all,

First of all, I am (very) new to CruiseControl.rb! I got CC to work on my
Linux/Ubuntu machine but every time CC detects a new build in SVN it prompts
for the SSH password before continuing with the build. I tried to setup
password-less SSH using OpenSSH (i.e. no passphrase SSH key) but this failed
because the server where our SVN repository is located doesn''t allow
for
password-less SSH. I was wondering if there was anyway to setup
CruiseControl, through a script or hack, to save or automatically input the
SSH password. Thank you!

No.  However, I''m not sure how a remote SVN server can prevent you
from using a no-passphrase SSH key.  That''s all client side just to
allow usage of the private key, I thought...

Another alternative is to use https for the SVN server - then SVN can
cache the password for you (in cleartext or in your keyring).
