.NET Build Process
- by Nix
All I am looking for the best free set of tools to be used in a MS Based build process. Checkout, Build, Package, Test, Deploy, etc.
I know this question has been asked before but it was over 2 years ago, and in our world that is an eternity.
I am looking to develop a pattern that is easily adapted to similar projects. Almost like a template/cookie cutter system.
I am currently looking into using CruiseControl, Powershell, MSBuild suite of tools.
If we choose to move to 4.0 will we have issues? Are there better alternatives? Limitations ? Or will these pretty much meet my needs.
One piece that i am never happy with is the process of packaging. We actually have opted in the past to just use Visual Studio Deployment Projects but those are very* ancient and my fear is WIX will be too complicated for the people implementing it.
