Hi Clayton et al, I will upload the SharePoint Readme and standalone build files this week.
Thanks, Kris -----Original Message----- From: Clayton Harbour [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 07:44 To: Kris Syverstad Subject: RE: [NAntC-Dev] FW: NAntContrib won't build Hi Kris, I was thinking of putting them both in the sharepoint directory. The NAnt project does something similar, however there is a dependency on a "master" build file. Since the framework is not really there for NAntContrib I was thinking of a standalone build file. What do you think? Sounds like you are making some good progress, on the rewrite, glad to hear! Do you mind if I cc the list on this?
