Deployment Manager

Hi,

I read today about "Deployment Manager" - it's a release automation tool for .NET apps, services, and databases.
And it seems to be free for open source projects and nonprofits.

See red-gate.com/delivery/deployment-manager/

I've been wondering if this could be something for openpetra? Or are we already well equipped with jenkins?

Greetings

Hello Joachim,
this tool is mainly for ASP.Net running on IIS.

OpenPetra at the moment is a client server application.
I am working on the server part to be a ASP.net application, but it is not in trunk yet. And even then I am not planning on supporting IIS, but fastcgi-mono-server4. Not sure what the longterm plans of OM are regarding the server OS.
And the client is still a fat client for the foreseeable future, we are using InnoSetup for the installer, and nant to build it.
For the server I have in my branch a nant task to create a tar file that can easily bundled into a debian or centos package. I want to use Open Build Service for building the linux packages.

see first experiments at build.opensuse.org/package/show ... postgresql

eg build.opensuse.org/package/view ... c?expand=1 calls nant buildServerCentOSPostgresqlOBS

All the best,
Timotheus
