CI Saver published

Today we published the CI Saver project on CodePlex. It's a screen saver that displays randomly moving orbs reflecting the build status in CC.Net. At some point we'll support TeamBuild, but for now it's just CC. Here's the url to the project:

Staged builds with CC.Net

I finally got around to setting up a staged with with CC, it was easier than I expected. The "Stage 1" build is a compile only, and then if that one succeeds it fires off the "Stage 2" build which is a compile + unit tests.

So to do the staged build all you have to do is add a project trigger to the dependent project.

So the ccnet.config looks like this:

<project name="App Stage 1">

...all the normal stuff ...

</project>

<project name="App Stage2">

       <triggers>

               <projectTrigger project="App Stage 1" />

          </triggers>

          .. all the normal stuff...

</project>
