The centerpiece is a command-line tool which merges the base (default) configuration file with a truncated file (the differences or "diff" file). This diff file contains only those elements which need to be added or changed. The Problem You know this one.
Emails are flying. The Solution Merge the base config file with a "differences" file, based on the machine name or build configuration. Here's the app.config from the example, which demonstrates some of the different scenarios the merge can handle: ="1.0" ="utf-8" <configuration><connectionStrings><add name="ApplicationConnString" connectionString="Data Source=OtherBox; ...

Subversion Client Your server will need the subversion console client on the server to allow CruiseControl to checkout your source. .Net 2 SDK To allow us to build .Net 2 projects without the need for Visual Studio we need to download and install .Net 2 SDK onto the server Setup MSBuild ccnet.config.
