Deploying an existing package using publish profiles

Viewed 22232

I'm trying to use the new publish profile support (available in VS2012 and in VS2010 via an update) to create a continuous delivery "deployment pipeline", whereby a package/zip is made in the first "stage" and the same package is deployed to various environments using different configurations.

What tasks/properties are involved in deploying an existing package using settings defined in a pubxml file, from the command line, and without causing a build? Put another way, I'd like to "publish" to a package, then later "publish" that same package to another profile without rebuilding it.

(I know I can use MSDeploy directly, but I'd prefer to have less plumbing on each project if possible)
