> What if the source code needs to be maintained internally? Our source code cannot be stored in "the cloud" ... Then move your SCM server wherever "internally" is? SCM does not require "the cloud". Regarding ant not being simple to install ... would you mind elaborating? I've installed ant a handful of times, either via "sudo apt-get install ant" or as a plugin to my editor; both ways were simple IMO. And I agree with simplicity, particularly with dependencies. I mentioned ant off the cuff, though I also use shell scripts when I can. They handle most remote tasks I can do in ant, but w/a smaller foot print.
