Overview
Source control is used by both CCNET and the nAnt script. The CCNET
project for the build scripts monitors, updated, and lables. The CCNET
project for the product only monitors and lables. The nAnt script is
responsible for updating the source to the latest. The Third Party
directory can be large and take a lengthy amount of time to update.
Sourdough builds are not desireable and the build script should not
enable them. For this reason the Product directory is deleted and
gotten fresh every build.
Dependencies
The Visual Source Safe client needs to be installed. The package SourceModificationReport is a dependency as well.
Install
For install during a CI Factory install simply include the
VisualSourceSafe package name in the property Packages.InstallList of

Trouble Shooting
The Source Safe commandline client has issues with managing multiple sessions for a single user. This will cause sporadic build exceptions. To prevent this issue simple mantain an open connection by leaving a Source Safe UI Client up and running logged in as the build user.
