Thanks Justin, Dean and others for the feedback - it looks to be gaining momentum.
To answer both your questions - the IIS recipe is just an idea and it hasn't been written yet. The reason the page doesn't exist is just the way wikis and links work. So Justin, your JS build is a common scenario - I'd suggest you create the page and any requirements & implementation ideas you have, and I'll add my thoughts to it. That way we can feed off each other's ideas as a community.

Very kewl and VERY helpful. You’re so right about the fact that the build stuff has been neglected big time. It’s all well and good, building applications, but trying to deploy an application is (more or less) the final hurdle in the application process and if that is not automated and simple, then things can get very messy, very quickly ... especially when it comes to supporting the live product. Lets not get started about supporting a live web application in a web farm scenario on remove servers .... Anyways ... is there a way people can REQUEST build recipes? For example; i’d love to see a way to MINIFY and PACK my javascript files before the web site is deployed .. so if i can add that to a ‘request’ list, maybe someone else might be able to help? ... Maybe a windows application developer might want to obfuscate their code, during deployment? This ties in to my next question ... TFS Builds and web deployment projects. Would it be fair to assume that these two products have a close relationship (with regard to web applications, that is) and maybe add some recipe support for WDP also? Eg. Using TFS build with WDP doing the following build scenarios ... etc. I’m not sure if the two recipies ‘Deploying Web Apps to IIS’ or ‘Zip web app files’ are doing this, because those links don’t work for me. Cheers – looking forward to everyone’s thoughts :) -J- From: Grant Holliday [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 31 January 2008 7:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzTFS] TFSBuild.com Build Receipes Launched Hi OzTFS’ers, Here’s a little side project I’ve been working on: TFSBuild.com<http://www.tfsbuild.com/> http://ozgrant.com/2008/01/31/tfsbuildcom-build-recipes-launched/ As a Build Master you’ve been put in charge of coming up with a central build system for your team. It can be quite daunting at first and you wonder “Where do I start?”. The purpose of TFSBuild.com<http://www.tfsbuild.com/> is to create and share build recipes with other build masters so that we can all learn and benefit from each other’s experience. Since the site is called TFSBuild.com<http://www.tfsbuild.com/>, there is a particular focus on MSBuild and Team Foundation Build scripts. But if you have a NAnt<http://nant.sourceforge.net/> script or similar that you think others might find useful post it up. The site is published as a wiki and the idea is that anybody can register<http://www.tfsbuild.com/Register.aspx> to add & update content. There are four simple options to get started: 1. Browse existing build recipes<http://www.tfsbuild.com/BuildRecipes.ashx> 2. Add a new build recipe<http://www.tfsbuild.com/AddBuildRecipe.ashx> 3. Use the search<http://www.tfsbuild.com/Search.aspx?FullText=1> 4. Subscribe to the RSS feed of wiki updates<http://www.tfsbuild.com/RSS.aspx>. It’s a little light on content at the moment, but I’m hoping that will change as momentum builds. Spread the word! Here are some of the recipes that I’ve put up recently based on my own experiences: · Running Unit Tests without a Test List<http://www.tfsbuild.com/Running%20Unit%20Tests%20without%20a%20Test%20List.ashx> · WiX MSI Setup Package<http://www.tfsbuild.com/WiX%20MSI%20Setup%20Package.ashx> · .NET 1.1 Applications<http://www.tfsbuild.com/NetFX_11_Applications.ashx> · Restrict Target Framework Version<http://www.tfsbuild.com/Restrict%20Target%20Framework%20Version.ashx> Regards, Grant Holliday Team System MVP<https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Grant.Holliday> | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Blog: http://ozgrant.com<http://ozgrant.com/> | Mobile: +61 (0)402 414 446 OzTFS.com - to unsubscribe from this list, send a message back to the list with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.
