I have a NAnt script that does a build and deployment of an ASP.Net application. This lives on a remote machine that many people log into to perform builds.

I'm trying to sell our group on using Mercurial as a source repository rather than VSS. In the process of updating our build scripts, I'm running into an issue trying to retrieve files from the Hg repository.

I am trying to use nant 0.90 with a visual studio 2008, .net 3.5 project. The nant script is being called by team city.

Whenever we do a production build/deployment the code-tree that was built has a branch created, (so that we can continue development and still know what codebase is on production, pret...

The console output when I run a Build via the Hudson web UI is similar to the following : Started by user anonymous [workspace] $ sh -xe C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\hudson81043...

Rather than having to update the VS Project file with each of the tasks, is it possible to create an external file to hold the build tasks and reference it via the main project file? Also, I have seen with nant, that you can create .bat file to run nant tasks. Is it possible to do s...
