Mage (Fake)

Mage Module

Namespace: Fake.DotNet
Assembly: Fake.DotNet.Mage.dll

Contains helper functions which allow FAKE to call the Manifest Generation and Editing Tool, in short MAGE. The intentional use is the creation of a clickonce application.

Certificates
The MAGE tool wants to sign the manifest using a certificate. It should be clear, that this file is not under source control. On the other hand - you want to be able to run the compile batch on each developer machine. How can we achieve that? In the parameter structure, we use a CertFile property and a TmpCertFile property. Whenever the CertFile was not found, the manifest is signed with a temporary certificate. And the latter one can be shared in the source control.
