Updating the AssemblyVersion attribute from CCNet

Hi,

I have an idea of feature for ccnet and would like your opinion : a
plugin or task of some kind which would update the assembly version
attribute in source code.

To illustrate, today I use a NAnt task for that :

<updateversion major="-1" minor="-1" build="${build.number}" revision="-1">
        <fileset basedir="${path::get-directory-name(solutionFile)}">
                <include name="**/AssemblyInfo.cs"/>
                <include name="**/CommonAssemblyInfo.cs"/>
                <include name="**/AssemblyInfo.cpp"/>
        </fileset>
</updateversion>

The behavior is rather obvious, except "-1" which means "do not
change". As well, it can handle c++ files. The implementation relies
on a regex match/replace.

Sure I can keep this in my NAnt build like today, but I'd personally
push to integrate some built-in mechanism in CCNet to ease version
increment (which would then be available for any builder, including
devenv builder).

My first idea was that it was maybe "overfeatured", but I realized
that many people learn all this the hard way.

what do you think ?

regards

Thibaut

ps : this bring another question : is there more details or inner
thoughts about the plugin model Owen evoked a couple of weeks ago ?
