Xinc is a continuous integration server written in PHP 5. It has built-in support for Subversion and Phing (and therefore PHPUnit), and can be easily extended to work with alternative version control or build tools.

Continuous Integration and PHP

On February 23rd Arno Schneider held a talk on Continuous Integration and PHP in general and Xinc in particular. The talk was hosted at the first PHP Conference in Barcelona. Here you can see the slides from the presentation:
