[dotNetRDF-Develop] TeamCity for dotNetRDF revisit

[Tomasz P. <tom...@gm...>]

Hi Rob

Some time we discussed setting up continous integration for dotNetRDF.
I am upgrading my VPS to a more powerful machine and I have already
set up TeamCity. It will also be possible to install some triplestores
for integration testing.

However I'm hitting a wall with unit tests because you use MSTest.
Would you be fine with me converting to NUnit? That way TeamCity will
run without installing Visual Studio and VS Express users will also be
able to build the whole solution. Also I think we could ask JetBrains
for ReSharper licence for our project (in case you would ask about
running the test suite from within VS). Oh and by the way, with the
introduction of NUnit there can be a lot less code for similar tests,
which can be parametrized. I assume you know the TestCase attribute.

When TeamCity builds are running I think we should also automate NuGet
publishing. For that some changes will be needed to have automatic
version numbering. Also you would have to explain how you nuget pack
dotNetRDF. In a separate email maybe.

Also I thought that maybe there could be two flavors of those
packages. One as usual for stable builds and a new one, which would
publish automatically for each successful build. What do you think?

A thing to consider here is moving to a dedicated branch for release
development and leaving default only for bugfixes.

Any thoughs?

Thanks
Tom
