Re: Simple get and build

What
Bill said is right on, only if you're using .net you'll probably be
using NAnt or MSBuild instead of Ant. Same
concept though.
There's also a really cheap way of having CC fetch the files for you and
that's to use the bootstrappers. You risk having some commit sneak in
between the files being pulled and the modifications being checked but on a
small project this is usually a minimal risk.

And on the off chance that you're using CC.NET instead of the original
CruiseControl, the mailing list for that is here:
