Currently, targets in master build files look like this:
<project
name="myProject"
default="build">
...
<target
name="build"
depends="init"
description="Builds the current configuration">
<property
name="target"
value="build"/> <!-- target to forward -->
<nant buildfile="src/default.build"/>
</target>
...
</project>
Then, if the NAnt group decides to accept this my
proposal, targets in master build files will look
like this:
<project
name="myProject"
default="build">
...
<target
name="build"
depends="init"
description="Builds the current configuration">
<nant
buildfile="src/default.build"
target="${target::get-current-target()}"/>
</target>
...
</project>
... and gateway build files like this:
<project
name="myProject"
default="*">
<target
name="*"
description="Builds recursively all subprojects">
<foreach
item="Folder"
property="foldername">
<in>
<items>
<includes name="*"/>
<excludes name="CVS"/>
</items>
</in>
<do>
<nant
buildfile="${foldername}/default.build"
target="${project.config} ${target::get-current-target()}"/>
</do>
</foreach>
</target>
</project>
