The web shop where I work we do both .Net and PHP/Linux development. We’d like to start automating a lot more of our deployment processes using a common system that can be used for both. What would you recommend as a good common scripting language or automation system (like Ant or Maven) that works well for both .Net and Linux development?
I have no experience with Maven, but we’ve managed to get Ant to do everything we’ve wanted on multiple platforms, just by virtue of the fact that you can extend it with any Java program to do special tasks not included with the Ant application itself.
And then Java can, if necessary, call any external program you want to by using Runtime.exec(). Loses a bit of the portability but it was required for some command-line tools under both Linux and Windows.
