Enhancement: Add option to use 7zip during packaging step #4

Open coxp opened 12 years ago

coxp commented 12 years ago

The default nant zip task does not compress the package very well. It would be nice to have an option to compress the package using 7zip instead.

This would help developers deploy over slower connections and also reduce the disk space used if keeping a history of all build artifacts (for instance when using Teamcity).

are you thinking we would ship the 7zip exe?

ferventcoder commented 12 years ago

I'm thinking we look at the task and possibly ship the 7zip (or chocolatey it up) - http://chocolatey.org/packages/7zip.commandline

ferventcoder commented 12 years ago

Do you have a working example of how we could do this?

coxp commented 9 years ago

I have been using this for years now but my solution removes support for standard zip files. I'd like to get this in the base project if possible rather than maintaining a custom version.

TBH, I think the ideal solution for me would be a better deployment story if the build system could generate something that is later used by the deployment system. For instance, a huge amount of the upload is libraries shared by the projects in the solution (e.g. Topshelf, Masstransit, Windsor, etc.), that could be restored on the server with the help of nuget.

@coxp NuGet stuffs is already built in so perhaps that is the path forward?

This commit (https://github.com/coxp/uppercut/commit/f9417b859ed2c91ded901d08a7e90fb4dcc40e22) adds support for 7zip.
