Hi,

I just want to update you on an exciting development with horn that
will hopefully encourage you to further participate,

We are going to launch the horn website any day now.  The horn website
will have downloadable links to zip files of all the projects it knows
how to build.

So at the moment we will have under the category of IOC, the following
relevant sections with regard to castle:

castle.activerecord/
castle.components/
castle.facilities/
castle.services/
castle.tools
castle.windsor

We have a windows service that will once a day build downloadable zip
files of .dlls for all the descriptors we have.

This means it will not only build the castle.dlls but it will resolve
it's dependencies also.

A lot, if not most of the other projects built by horn depend on
castle, for example, the sharp architecture project has the following
dependencies section:


dependencies:
    depend "castle.tools"                  >> "Castle.Core"
    depend "castle.tools"                  >> "Castle.DynamicProxy2"
    depend "castle.windsor"                >> "Castle.MicroKernel"
    depend "castle.windsor"                >> "Castle.Windsor"
    depend "castle.services"               >>
"Castle.Services.Logging.Log4netIntegration"
    depend "castle.components"             >>
"Castle.Components.Validator"

I will need to  update the descriptors to the new castle structure
which to be honest, I have lost track of.

I think the horn website will really take away a lot of the pain with
getting builds of the latest OSS projects out of the hands of the user
who now needs to install a myriad of things like msysgit, psake etc.
just to get a fresh build.

Buy in from projects like castle is crucial and thanks to John Simons
for being proactive in this thread.  I have struggled to get interest
in our cause thus far.

I think the website has the potential to be massive.

If you guys can take charge of maintaining your descriptors then that
would be awesome.

I moved the descriptors to git in order to encourage participation:

http://github.com/dagda1/hornget

The horn website has the potential to be big for all relevant OSS and
allow people to get latest builds without having to even use
TortoiseSvn.

Cheers

Paul
