I have attempted and failed a couple times to build NAntContrib from the
sources I downloaded from cvs. There are no released files for the
project. There have been no nightly builds since June 03. There's no
traffic on either the user or developer lists to speak of; the last post
to the dev list was July 30. It seems prima facie an abandoned project
sans-maintainer and with no community or activity.
Ok fair enough, it has been neglected. However:
- I have posted build instructions for NAntContrib multiple times. You
need to link against a 0.8.3 of nant
- no one has posted their failed build outputs here or on the
nantcontrib list. How do you expect help for a problem if you don't post
the details ?
- I monitor the NAnt-contrib dev list and so do other developers I'm
sure. I notice you didn't post any messages there before posting here.
- we shipped NAntContrib binaries with the 0.8.3 release and will
contunue to do so in future releases.
- Gert is currently looking at integrating NAntcontrib into the nightly
build process.
so yes it needs some work but we are working on it.
Some of us would like to help (okay, maybe just me), because there are
weirdities or bugs (such as in the SQL task's verboseness) but it seems
pointless to submit patches if nobody's listening who cares or can do
anything about it.
submit your patches. Here or to the NAntcontrib list and they will be
reviewed.
