RE: [Draconet-users] Nant build files
I dont understand the question completely. However, the question seems related to a common question. Heres what we do, and its what I suggest: Put your nant .build files in CVS/VSS right along with your source code. Make those .build files do everything with relative paths so that everything works no matter where the files get checked out to. Strongly concider putting the appropriate version of nant (the binaries) in CVS/VSS also with your source code and build files. Nant changes over time and your .build files will change with nant. If you have everything under source control, you can always go back in time and get a complete set of source, build scripts, and the version of nant that worked at that point in tim. This approach works smoothly with draco and does not require our build scripts and source code to even have a clue where draco puts them when it does a checkout to a temporary folder.

RE: [Draconet-users] Nant build files
You said it yourself: Use relative paths in your nant build script. The path to the nant file in draco.exe.config should also be relative. (I hope by temporary files you mean the files draco has fetched into a temporary directory). The easiest way to test this, is to create your build file in the root of your chosen source safe project and author your source-related tasks relatively to this root (source files will likely be siblings or children in this case). Then just copy this entire tree (on your local disk) to an arbitrary location and see if the build still succeeds (using nant on the command line). Regards, Yves Reynhout.
