Peter Provost posts some info about a BoF he hopes to have at Teched, and some sample build info. Wish I was there, I would def attend. If you follow my blog at all, you would know I'm often neck deep in out build process.
After reviewing Peter's script a little bit, there are a few things I really like about it. I really like how almost everything is in a property. I tried that in my initial build scripts, but as I moved on and on found myself moving away from it as the build files got more complex. Unfortunatley I conceded to the complexity, but would like to go back through and utilize some of these ideas.
We actually use an FxCop file at this point, which I would like to move away from. The main reason we use those now is since we have some custom rules that replace some in the box ones, although I'm sure there is a way to represent that on the commandline.
I don't think I quite get the ccnet bootstrapper yet, but am going to look at that more tonight. I'm really glad to see these products getting more attention though, they are a really nice set of tools. Everyone also keep your eyes open, I have an article on a complete build system with a complete end to end sample on the editors desk, so it should hopefully be published soon. Maybe I'll write and release a followup here implementing some stuff from Peter.
