RavenDB License about fake HOT 11 CLOSED

Anybody? @dnauck @colinbull

From ravendb.net

No, Raven’s AGPL license contains an explicit exception for OSS projects. You can release your project under any
OSI approved license. Note, however, that you can’t change RavenDB's own licensing. Users of your project would
still need to comply with RavenDB's licensing.

So I guess they would have to buy a license if it was used commercially... I have been thinking about giving a choice of a sql database, raven db, or a custom provider because of this.. But just wanted to get things working for the minute so kinda ignored it. Nothing is tied to raven and this will be easy to acheive I think.

Perhaps the FAKE.Deploy feature could be developed such that the user is responsible to download and install the database code/assembly/executable of choice and easily interact with it from FAKE? That way FAKE and its users are protected from unfree (free as in freedom) software.

Thanks Colin for your efforts to add the FAKE.Deploy feature. I appreciate your work.

No problem :). I was thing of a provider model, so you do something like the following in the web.config,

<connectionStrings>
      <add name="Fake.Deploy" connectionString="...." providerName="Fake.Deploy.SqlProvider" />
</connectionString>

or something like that. The provider can then go and initialise the tables ect if they don't exist like the WebSecurity framework does. @forki @scitesy What do you think?

That sounds decent to me although I often wish F# projects/solutions would use the scripting power of F# instead of xml for configuration. By default through the heavy reliance on xml config we live with the legacy of unscriptable C# in our tooling even though F# changed the game for us.

Let's take this one step further. I suggest we create a FAKE.Deploy package which is unbundled like @colinbull wrote and a FAKE.Deploy.Raven which is fully configured to get started. If someone needs another DB she can use the unbundled version.

@forki, I have started this.. last night I added a one time setup page which allows you to choose the provider and default username and password ect, when the app starts. I'll try and get it finished and pushed tonight..

from fake.

@forki pushed an initial implementation of setting up the web site (here). I need to still zip the provider and then implement the unzipping on setup but this should be trivial.. Have a look and see what you think...

I don't get the webapp started. It says it's missing an implementation:

{"Die Methode "get_Task" im Typ "Raven.Client.Embedded.Changes.EmbeddableDatabaseChanges" der Assembly "Raven.Client.Embedded, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=37f41c7f99471593" hat keine Implementierung.":"Raven.Client.Embedded.Changes.EmbeddableDatabaseChanges"}

Closing this. Please reopen if needed,
