Open Repository of latest source code now operational

It has been a goal of the DNN project to be able to allow developers and anyone interested to download the latest source code from CodePlex without affecting our internal operations.  To do this I have created a CruiseControl.Net project that synchronises the source code in our internal system out to CodePlex on a daily basis.  If you check out the Source page for the project you will see the following today:

Each time the source is updated by the CruiseControl.Net project you will an entry from dnnsvn user. 

The source code in the repository is slightly different from the downloaded source package.  The downloaded source package has the automatic packaging of the modules and providers removed so that when you open the solution you don’t see this security prompt:

This prompt shows up because I have used the very cool and useful MSBuild tasks available from the MSBuild Community Tasks Project.  The task I am using is the zip task which is used to package up the files for the installation packages.   So if you do download the code please select “Load Project Normally” when you load the solution.  The packaging only happens when you build in Release mode.  Also don’t forget to change the name of either the release.config or development.config to web.config before you build the solution.
