Important

This project is undergoing massive maintenance at the moment. The documentation below only refers to Buildvana SDK and will eventually be moved to its own file. A decent README for the whole project is in the works.

At a glance

Buildvana SDK is an opinionated, best-practices-based, CI-friendly, VS-friendly, MSBuild-powered build system for .NET projects.

DISCLAIMER: Buildvana SDK is still a work in progress. Your mileage may vary, if you break your build you own both pieces, and so on and so forth. However, Buildvana SDK has already been used successfully in production, for both business and open source projects.

Benefits

• Helps you keep your project files clean and concise - even better than "plain" MSBuild SDKs
• Single source of truth for assembly versions (via [Nerdbank.GitVersioning(https://github.com/dotnet/Nerdbank.GitVersioning)])
• Single source of truth for package licenses and copyright notices
• More auto-generated assembly information (ClsCompliant, COMVisible)
• Automatic configuration of commonly-used code analyzers
• ...

Proudly built using Buildvana SDK

• PolyKit is the last polyfill library you'll ever need for your C# projects.
• L.o.U.I.S. is a general-purpose library, providing commonly-used types, suitable for multi-platform libraries and applications.
• Cecil.XmlDocNames is a tiny library that generates XML-documentation-compliant names for Mono.Cecil objects.
• ReSharper.ExportAnnotations lets you distribute ReSharper code annotations in XML format along with your libraries, without keeping a transient dependency on the JetBrains.Annotations package.
• Practically every one of Tenacom's private projects since the first preview of Buildvana SDK: almost 50 libraries, a bunch of console apps, some WinForms apps, even an Avalonia UI app (with more coming soon).
