Hi Scott,
The following is an example of a build that I perform:
<!-- Core infrastructure components -->
<target name="level1">
<csc target="library" output="Core.dll">
<sources>
<includes name="*.cs"/>
</sources>
</csc>
... other base level components
</target>
<!-- Business Objects -->
<target name="level2" depends="level1">
<csc target="library" output="customer.dll">
<sources>
<includes name="*.cs"/>
</sources>
</csc>
</target>
<!-- Web Services -->
<target name="level3" depends="level2">
<csc target="library" output="customerWS.dll">
<sources>
<includes name="*.cs"/>
</sources>
</csc>
</target>
<!-- Web Pages -->
<target name="level4" depends="level3">
<csc target="library" output="businessportal.dll">
<sources>
<includes name="*.cs"/>
</sources>
</csc>
</target>
In this example I have a core.dll, customer.dll, customerWS.dll and a
businessportal.dll. If something in businessportal.dll changes then as far
as I know a complete build needs to be performed. However in theory only
the businessportal.dll should need to be recompiled. This means that the
entire site has to be recompiled (because I am using strong names) and more
importantly redeployed. The scale of the problem becomes a lot larger when
you have deployments over multiple machines. Then the deployment scenario
for a small change becomes a lot more horrendous.
Down time is a critical factor in our business and if we don't achieve a
certain level of uptime then we violate or contractual obligations. It
would be good to hear from some other people to see whether they are
experiencing the same types of problems.
Thanks
Ben

Can you send us an example of a real-world data centre situation where you
need to do dependency related stuff.
I've been thinking about adding a <uptodate> conditional task. It would
allow you to only do certain things if something was not up to date.
Kinda like this:
<uptodate sourcefile="test.cs" updatedfile="test.dll">
... stuff to do
<call target="build"/>
</uptodate>
It would probably work very similar, but a little simpler than the ant
uptodate task. http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/CoreTasks/uptodate.html
