We are currently using CVS, and Visual Studio.NET builds. Unhappy with some of our CVS limitations, I'm actually hoping to shake loose the budget for Vault, but an inability to have a continuous integration server would be a non-negotiable stopping point.

Does anybody have any experience getting a CI server running with Vault, and if so, what product are you using?

Some folks are working on making Vault work with Draco.NET. Here is a recent posting on the Vault mailing list:

I don't remember anybody saying that they use Vault with Cruise Control.NET.

Jim is approaching the integration from the viewpoint of using the API, and I've nearly finished the integration from the viewpoint of shelling out to the command line client.

I have some issues with the CLI that I need to resolve before I can finish up my project. Once those issuse are resolved I plan on releasing my results immediately. (Hopefully tonight. I can resolve the issues I have myself but need some, ah, permissions from SourceGear.)

I've just posted code for an example plugin, which could be modified to kick off a build when a checkin is made. This might be helpful for those who want something approaching Continuous Integration. I'll leave adapting it up to the Nant/Draco/CC.Net people.
