Thanks for these notes. Moving to CLR v2.0 was an interesting struggle
and I don't think we have all of our build dependencies worked out. The
AssemblyInfo.cs is totally one of those files that I've messed up. I've
been struggling with the freaking keys for a while (keeping the private
"protected" and the public "correct"). I'm sorry you got caught in the
middle. I'll look into this.
One note that I don't think I've ever made clear in the past. The "src"
zip files do not have the compiled binaries that we are dependent on
because they take up too much space in the weekly releases (same reason
we don't push the .pdbs). That means you will not be able to easily
build using the "src" zip file (have to download the binaries
yourself). The "src" zip files are really intended for easy browsing of
the code if you're just looking for changes.
If you enlist in CVS you should get all of the files and the builds
*should* go much smoother. That is what our build machine is based on
today. It just happens to have all the private keys I've ever used so I
don't always catch the mistakes noted above.
