Hi, Before you all shoot off in different directions, I was just testing the water. Seems it's pretty cold :-) But given all the replies it's a pretty hot subject.
I fail to see the clear advantages of introducing yet another build system, even one being as elegant as psake. All our projects use sln/csproj and it's easiest to build upon that with MSBuild, IMHO. I agree that if we need scripting psake would be a very nice tool for it. About all the other fancy alternatives: what will they bring us, besides being "not-XML", that NAnt doesn't? Isn't that just porting the current scripts to another platform? Rake IMO, is a pretty alien thing on .NET and all the scripts for .NET that I've seen delegate building to MSBuild by simply shelling out. Uncool. Bake is dead. Ayende's not even using it for his own projects. IronRuby based builders - ??? One of the key points is ClickToBuild (or DX as Krzysztof put it nicely), so not requiring anything besides VS is something to strive for. My objective was to simplify the current build, bringing everything to one build technology. And that technology is MSBuild on .NET, like it or not. -- Roelof. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Castle Project Development List" group.
