OctopusDeploy is a wonderful thing. Pretty much changed the way I look at deploying crap. I hooked it in to TFS and Azure along with code metrics, code analysis and automated testing, etc. Everything starts as a gated checkin. If the code makes it through the 'gauntlet' it's automatically deployed. One aggravating thing about OctopusDeploy. There's a utility exe called Octopack that wraps nuget.exe and produces an almost-nuget package. What gets created doesn't install correctly as a nuget in visual studio; only as a package in octopus deploy. OctopusDeploy uses Octopack for creating their deployment packages; not for creating nuget packages for consumption in other development projects--despite Octopack generating a .nupkg file.

Just finished hooking up Sandcastle to our CI build because I'm a little tired of being asked for documentation that nobody uses. If you're in the .NET world, Sandcastle has been around for ages. It's what MS uses/used for their MSDN documentation generation. Someone released the source to the public ages ago and I've been using it on and off since. It's been a good 5 years since I touched it last so I grabbed the latest last week. Really has come a long ways. Integrates into visual studio as a project type now. Just add a new "help" project to your solution, add the .*proj files as documentation sources and poof--instant docs...provided you've remarked your code everywhere. Using Team Build (TFS) for building, I created a helper script that publishes the generated help after a successful build to a website and includes the url in the successful build notifications.

..btt posted:Interesting - I last looked at this about a year ago. Similarly, we are sometimes asked by higher-ups for standalone documentation no dev would use. At the time it was abandoned, hadn't been touched since 2012 or so. An hour? No, nothing that bad but there still is alot of overhead. The longest build I've got right now is about 2 minutes so it's tough for me to give reliable numbers, but sandcastle increased that one to 3 minutes. This seems to have caught on at my company and other teams are doing it now. Build times haven't been a complaint yet. My hunch is this will end up being for release compiles only or some other flag to turn it off. Added bonus is watching the IIS logs and seeing of the people asking for documentation, how many actually use it.
