albacore is a suite of Rake tasks to automate the process of building a .NET based system. It's like MSBuild or Nant... but without all the stabby-bracket xmlhell.
Check out the albacore Wiki for detailed instructions on how to use the built in tasks and their options.
If you are new to Ruby and Rake, head over to the getting started wiki page.
Albacore has been tested against the following versions of rake:
- Rake v0.8.7
- Rake v0.9.2
Albacore has been tested against the following versions of Ruby for Windows:
- RubyInstaller v1.8.7
- RubyInstaller v1.9.2
- IronRuby v1.0
- IronRuby v1.1
- IronRuby v1.1.1
- IronRuby v1.1.2
- IronRuby v1.1.3
Support for the following versions of ruby has been dropped. Albacore will no longer be tested against, or have code written to work with these versions of ruby. Use these versions at your own risk.
- RubyInstaller v1.8.6
- RubyInstaller v1.9.1
Due to an incompatibility with the Rubyzip gem, IronRuby does not support the ‘zip’ and ‘unzip’ tasks. If you need zip / unzip support, look into using a third party tool such as 7-zip or SharpZipLib.
