Summary
-------

Nosyd is a _minimalist_ personal command line friendly CI server. It is primarily meant to run on your developer machine.
Nosyd tracks multiple projects and automatically runs your build whenever one of the monitored files of the monitored projects has changed.

------------
How it works
------------

Nosyd is an auto-testing tool, also called personnal Continuous Integration server. It is a daemonization of Jeff Wrinkler's original nosy script [1].

Nosyd sits in the background and can monitor multiple projects. This means you only need one instance of nosyd on your desktop.
Today nosyd rebuilds projects if one of the files it monitors has changed. After it has built the project, nosyd tries to notify you
of the build results using Desktop notifications. When it can, nosyd uses information from the build to report accurate information (number of failed tests, etc).
Nosyd then goes back waiting for a project to be rebuilt.

Nosyd version has a command line interface, configuration files, supports multiple builders and desktop notifiers notifiers.

--------
Features
--------

* automatically run your build whenever one of the monitored files of the monitored projects has changed
* filesets to select files monitored
* support multiple builders (nosetests, maven2, trial, django)
* notify using Gnome's notification library on Linux, Growl on Mac OS X
* per project configuration to override defaults
* command line interface to add/remove/list jobs
* persists daemon configuration using files and links
* logging

-----
Usage
-----

* install in path and run nosyd in a terminal to start the daemon. The terminal should be kept open, you will see the build output there
* optionally create a ~/.nosyd/config to override some of the configuration
* optionaly create a .nosy file in your project's directory. If that file changes, the file will be reloaded at next build.
* add/remove the monitored project by using --add/--remove [path] options
** you can also do it manually by adding/removing symlinks into the .nosyd/jobs/ directory
  ln -s /path/to/your/project ~/.nosyd/jobs/
