I am working in a CI environment using cruisecontrol.net.
I would like to have developers manage updates to DocumentTypes via packages that are stored in SVN.
I would like to have our NANT script (run by CC.net) install these packages on our staging server whenever a build runs.
Does this sound like a good way to manage document type changes? I have found numerous posts onthe subject, but no one seems to have a good answer. I am also unfamiliar with how package handle the updating of existing document types. (say we needed to add a new field to an existing document type).
Has anyone installed packages programmatically using the API? I am thinking that I could cook up an command line utility and run it from NANT. If I go this route I'll definetely share the code as well.
It's not possible to use the package API from anything but a web UI. If you can work out how to get NAnt (or MSBuild) to do it that way then please let us know.
I looking into how to use MSBuild to do CI packaged but it was going to take way more time than I had for the project so it was scrapped.

UPDATE: I found an answer to my first question here.

Bummer. I might forgo continuous integration on the site I am working on, for time reasons. Long term, this is high on my list of priorities, however.
This is how we do CI with Umbraco projects where I work - http://farmcode.org/post/2009/10/02/2-Click-ASPNET-Web-Application-Deployment-with-MSBuild.aspx
