Is it possible to use web deploy from multiple developer PC’s?
When we try to do so it seems we need to re-publish everything when someone else wants to do a deploy.
Are we doing something wrong, is there a way around this, or what would be a recommended approach in our scenario?
I’m aware that deploying from a central location is a better founded solution, but unfortunately this is not an option at the moment.
Using Visual Studio, no. The current build scripts don’t have a way of providing the necessary flag to MSDeploy.
If you are using the generated
cmdfile from a package to perform the deployment you can append-useChecksumto your command line and it will use checksum comparisons rather than the last modified date.
