RE: [Nant-users] Solution task and VSSGET

Hi Russell,   Whilst I can see what you are saying, I don't really think this is NAnt's fault.  Really, you shouldn't have anything in your current view of your archive that isn't part of the current solution.. The problem is that VSS doesn't version folders.  You could switch to a more advanced version control system such as Rational ClearCase which does control folders, but it'aint cheap!!   The solution we used for this where you don't want to delete the file, but it's not part of the solution any more is to have a top level folder in VSS called redundant, that mimics the structure of your code folders, and when a file is removed from a project, move the VSS version to redundant. That way, you keep a copy of the file with it's version history, but you also keep your source folder clean.   HTH,   Bill   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Hogg, Russell E. Sent: 16 September 2005 16:23 To: 'nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: [Nant-users] Solution task and VSSGET Hi All, I have a simple question, perhaps it's just confusion on my part.   My current NANT script can get the latest from VSS and then do the BUILD based on the SOLUTION. All this grand, I just have one bit of trouble, things that have been removed form the solution yet are still in VSS (valid parts of my history) come down with the getlatest.   Is there a way to get latest on a SOLUTION (like the DEV environment does)?  I don't want to remove those items from VSS, but I don't want them to be pushed out either. I'm pretty sure I can parse through the SOLUTION and then the PROJ files and build something myself maybe via XSL.   I just wanted to check before i reinvented the wheel.   Thanks   -Russ           ____________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] 478.744.2367 ____________________________________________ How healthy is your software process?
