Re: Nant VS CC.NEt

Well, for one thing, each does some things better than the other, so we
like to take advantage of that.

 

We have customized CC.NET heavily with custom tasks that have allowed to
us fully integrate git with CC.NET.

 

Some things make sense to do in CC.NET, others in nant, still others
with custom C# tasks or calls out to the console.  The decision becomes
obvious on what technology to use as you become more familiar with both
platforms, but I would never choose one over the other.  Both have been
essential to the success of a very well developed and highly customized
continuous integration system for us here.

Ok perhaps I should have phrased my question a little better, I am
looking for CI and daily builds.  I've used CC.Net before exclusively
without NANT. My question was more why would I choose to use the
functionality exposed in NANT, such a executing tasks, copying files
etc.... When CC.NET also has utilities for doing the same thing ? There
seems to be quite a bit of over lap between the tasks that CC.Net can
don and the tasks that NANT can do. Therefore what is the benefit ? Of
combining the two ?

You don't choose one over the other, they go hand in hand.  CC.NET will
handle all of your source control operations, scheduling, emailing,
publishing, etc, and CC.NET will call into your NANT scripts to do
things like run MSBuild, copy files, etc.

Hi All, 

 

I am looking to introduce a Continuous Integration/build environment to
my dev team which currently has none. What would be the primary
advantage(s) to choosing a NANT too over CC.NET ?
