I'm aware that there is an auto repair function due in the next release. Is there a work around in the meantime that we can implement to initiate an repair on a particular server? If we wrote our own service to monitor the file sync process (every 5 minutes
check that a file added exists on each server) then is there a way of repairing a particular server? I imagine I could stop and start the web controller but that would cause a rebuild of all the servers so it seems like a blunt instrument to me. Is there a
better way?
Shouldn't this sort of functionality be built into the WFF rather than having to add it in manually? Issues with the file sync stopping are causing a lot of issues. It seems like this product should be a Beta rather than production ready.
We have already incorporated this feature in our current builds, and will be there in the next release. I can help you code that provider for the time being.
We are planning a maintenance release which would fix this and other bugs. Our goal is to release it in next couple of months, but this is not definite yet as we are trying to fit it with other projects that the team is working on.
Thanks. We basically want our provider to do a custom msdeploy task, instead of the usual application provisioning. We have tested msdeploy using the command line and it does what we want (ignore file in use errors, skip folders etc). The command is: "%ProgramFiles%\IIS\Microsoft
Web Deploy\msdeploy.exe" -verb:sync -source:webserver -dest:webserver,dirPath.ignoreErrors=0x8000020;0x80070005,computerName=freya,includeAcls=true -skip:objectName=dirPath,absolutePath=\\ImageCache What's the easiest way to execute this using a custom provider
class? Are there any examples out there of doing this?

I think you should be able to write a custom provider to add this functionality. You can read more about writing a provider here.
Let me know if you need help or have more questions.
