Automating builds from subversion tags
- by Ajaxx
I'm trying to automate the build process for engineering group. As part of that automation, I'm trying to get to a point where the act of applying a specific tag that adheres to a pattern will kick off an automated process that will do the following:
Check out source code
Create a build script from a template
Build the project
I'm pretty certain I could do this with a post-hook in subversion, but I'm trying to figure out a way to do this with something other than a subversion hook.
Would it make sense to monitor the tags directory in the subversion repository to kick off my workflow?
Are there any decent tools that help with this (.NET would be great if possible).
Am I better off just writing an engine to do this?
My preferences:
Existing product that does all or part of this
If development work needs to occur, .NET is preferable
Works with Windows (we've got a Linux based repo, but builds all occur on windows)
