Yes, you
just use the <property> syntax.
Of course, the property will now be changed globally – not just in the
target.

Code from VSS via NAnt
So, if I declare properties in the top of
the build file for use by any target, what if I want to manipulate the property
in a target? What is the syntax to set a property value mid target if its
already been declared?
Do I just use the <property>??

There's a trick that uses <foreach>
task. Taken from my build script:
<target name="installer">
<foreach item="Line"
in="version.txt" delim="."
property="sooda.major,sooda.minor,sooda.revision,sooda.build">
... do something with
the properties ...
</foreach>
</target>
This will read ALL lines from
"version.txt" (there's only one and that's the
trick) and set sooda.* properties appropriately.
See <foreach> task documentation for
more info. Hope it helps.
