Suggestion: Extra "step" above packaging for distribution. Distribution: *Copy the output from packaging to remote site with filecopy, ftp, sftp, scp ... *Should be possible to specify any number of distribution destinations and methods(ftp, scp and so on). *Dependancy to packaging so the package is fresh. *Possible to specify extra files (besides the output from packaging).
Has been planned, but then postponed due to lack of interest. It may be considered again now.
It would also be good if the destination file name could be suppplied on a per destination basis, with optional symbols like current date/time in it. A common scenario is that you deliver internally and in this case existing deliveries should not be overwritten, you want to save all historically delivered binaries. You also deliver externally and in that case it might be intended to be overwritten like www.something.com/someapp.zip. Also, maybe it would be better to be able to have several distribution targets independant of each other since a common scenario is that you do internal deliveries often (new version for testers, release candidates and so on) but only want external deliveries at some times (finished product).
