CCMenu + Hudson w/o Basic Auth
"Has anyone figured out how to use CCMenu with Hudson and not have Basic Auth?"
Hudson has its own authorization mechanism, unlike Basic Auth, so it can't be used with nice desktop tools like CCMenu which shows the red/green square in your system tray.
Consider using Jenkins.
Using Symlinks with Dropbox
Using the Linux Dropbox client seems to allow symlinks to be uploaded, but they will not behave as expect anywhere else. Someone was trying to have a "latest" folder point to the latest versioned folder.

*Is there a way to change the URL that CCRB pulls from when it builds?
