I'm just about to start an eval of NANT. A few kick-off questions... Right now, I'm unsure of the scope of NANT in terms of how appropriate it is to a mixed environment with some .NET apps and older legacy VB6 apps - most apps with SQL Server as a back-end. Some of my developer colleagues as asking me how '.NET' centric NANT is? In other words, is it a build tool for .NET apps or is it a build tool suitable for non-.NET apps which just happens to be written using .NET?
In our environment, a mixture of VB6 and .NET on top of SQL Server, is NANT the best bet? If NANT is the way to go on this, how can we best integrate the associated SQL Server builds into this process? Is CruiseControl seen as the best partner for NANT in terms of automated/continuous build process? Which SCM tool fits best into the NANT/CruiseControl picture? n.b. using VSS right now but developers see its shortcomings. I have a pilot implementation of one of our services that includes vb6 and SQL Server with the vb client interface being currently rolled out using a script that constructs the MSI package. My aim is to see all components of the build including SQL Server together in the same build process. As a starting point for me, are there any examples I could refer to for this scenario using the tools I have already mentioned plus any more that might be necessary? Thanks in advance, Clive R.
