Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jacek (performer24) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Lack of GUID genration prevents using tallow in automated .. Initial Comment: build environments. Main advantage of having command line tools is to use them in automated build environments. After first encounters with tallow and MSBuild it became obvious that it is impossible to do that now due to very simple shortcomings in tallow itself. I do consider it to be BUG due to the very nature of majority of command line tools used currently by developers - they are assumed to automate build process. Unfortunately lack of guid generation for extracted components prevents it. Please consider adding -genguid command line option and the following lines of code to tallow: byte[] buffer = new byte[16]; RNGCryptoServiceProvider rng = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider(); rng.GetBytes(buffer); Guid componentGuid = new Guid(buffer); This will obviously ensure cryptographically strong random number generation and thus unique guids - unless somone does not believe in uniqueness of 128 bit keys ;).
