Option to deploy an existing release in OctopusDeploy

Once you crated a release in Octopus Deploy through Cake, there is no option to deploy that release. I’ve got a draft code that can do that, but I see there are a few issues around OctopusDeploy: #1022, pending PR #1218.

I’m not sure what is the conclusion of discussion about duplicating parameters for server and apikey in alias calls and settings object. So here is my proposal:

    [CakeMethodAlias]
    public static void OctoDeployRelease(this ICakeContext context, string server, string apiKey, string projectName, string deployTo, string releaseNumber, DeployReleaseSettings settings)
    {
        // do deploy
    }

    [CakeMethodAlias]
    public static void OctoDeployRelease(this ICakeContext context, string server, string apiKey, string projectName, string deployTo,  DeployReleaseSettings settings)
    {
        OctoDeployRelease(context, server, apiKey, projectName, deployTo, "Latest", settings);
    }

My only concern is #1022 - Should I base the settings object on common OctopusDeploySettings while it still has Server and ApiKey parameters?

@trailmax Looks like release number isn’t mandatory, so it should be on the settings class. DeployReleaseSettings is also too generic, so would be better if you called that OctoDeployReleaseSettings to keep consistency with other tools.

[CakeMethodAlias]
public static void OctoDeployRelease(this ICakeContext context, string server, string apiKey, string projectName, string deployTo,  DeployReleaseSettings settings)
{
  // Implementation   
}
